    Is it better for you now that windows is the whole OS and not just the "gui"?

      No it's worse. Tying the OS and GUI together to the extent they are in modern post-95 Windows is a major cause of the learned helplessness OP is talking about

        Maybe but I can't personally blame someone for improving their product and throwing away DOS entirely.

        They ditched DOS with XP, so ≈22 years ago.

      Yeah i don't understand. Are we talking a Windows/Linux or as I've taken to calling it Windows plus Linux?

        The situation with Windows and DOS is as if ChromeOS took over so decisively that Linux became nothing more than a historical curiosity.
