That is part of the core problem of Windows. At its heart it’s still DOS, an OS designed for 1 thread, minimal graphics, 1 user, no communication with other computers, and a small amount of available hardware. Everything we think about in Windows today is something added onto that core, usually through a kind of psychotic hack, they’ve added all this stuff which was completely out of the design scope of the OS that still is the core. That’s why Windows is not secure, not stable, and just generally a pain in the ass. The good news is because it still has a heart of DOS the old Norton tools (you know, from back when Peter actually ran the company) still generally work, there’s a whole Norton Commander cult where I work.

Either you are lying or you really don’t know what you are talking about. Ask David Cutler and his time about that and see what he says.
