ok... programming paradigms are not to be mixed with language paradigms,
that's right. c++ is just not really OO, it's a cramp. it has adopted
principles of OO but stayed to it's c roots. nothing wrong with that but
doing things in c++ requires a heck load of discipline of ya or you mess
it up like hell.
haven't said that beos does not use something else than c++ but as far
as i've seen this (correct me if i'm wrong) the system related things
and many servers in beos are written in c++.
and yes, many problems in windows with instability and crashes occur due
to faulty drivers or 3d-party apps that sux. especially on pre-installed
systems a heck load of crap-ware is installed which is a pain
sometimes... especially as soon as you try 'working' with your system in
terms of extending it and modifying it heavily.
oha... win 98 se versus win xp. well... i've had a couple of windows now
but somehow i did not see much difference there. i'm just happy to have
past me the dark age of windows... LOL
anyways... that mini distro sounds nice. as long as i can completly
fumble it over if i want to it's all right ^_^
