Nice try
"First its still based on dos and being compiled with vb wich is 8bit and a 8bit chip its true 8bit, no matter how you lie."

No, you lie.

Windows XP (and 2003) is based on the NT kernel, which was 32-bit from the ground up. (In fact, getting a backwards compatibility with older programs was one of the challenges with WinNT.)

It is NOT compiled from VB. It was written in C, and I think some assembly. Probably c++ since then. (I would doubt C# is being used for anything pre-Longhorn.)

VB is *not* 8-bit in any way shape or form unless you specifically want it that way.

Between you and the other guy that's never heard of any of the MS OSs from the 90s, you're not making the ABM religion look very good.

Leave it to the rest of us that like tinkering with all kinds of OSs.
