How’s the atlantic anything like the pacific?

  • smaller
  • not in the same spot
  • doesn’t get the same amount of sun
  • different countries in it
  • doesn’t help you go to the same places by boat

Truly nothing in common. Might as well be comparing an apple to caulking a window

Weak comparison…

BeOS/Haiku doesn’t LOOK even remotely like win9x.

It looks a lot like win95. I don’t think anything you brought up is relevant

It literally does not.

It has half yellow titlebars whereas win 95 has full titlebars with a solid blue colour (98+ had a gradient). The Tracker was in the top right corner and didn’t extend it’s height to the bottom. The Taskbar on the other hand was at the bottom corner and extended from left to right.

Those two differences are already enough to make BeOS NOT look anything alike windows 95.

It’s not the same colour! Clearly a completely different operating system!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
