I will likewise analyze the graphical UI’s features–though only giving it a cursory look, since I assume my audience does not need to be persuaded to make the most of its video hardware. I will be looking at the Unix shell, since it is the most full-featured and powerful of such interfaces (DOS, of course, had very few features worth talking about; it must be given its due, though–it brought millions of people into computing). I will be looking at GUIs on a more general level.” Read the interesting comparison at OSNews by Greg Afinogenov.”
