I work with MS-DOS, Unix, and MS-Windows everyday. Below are descriptions of the psychologically feelings that I have when working with these systems. Working under MS-DOS is like being in a small room with no windows and no doors. Working under MS-Windows is like being in the same room with no doors and no windows but with lots of mirrors on the walls. It looks a lot bigger but I am still stuck in the same room. When working under Unix, I have doors and windows in the room. I can move from one room to another. There is alot of freedom.
