And so far as programming in C is your desire, you have a choice
of working with a crippled OS or a crippled compiler.  Besides 
which the crippled compiler probably is working on a pricey 
computer with an similarly pricey OS.  Worse yet, even the
busted compiler often costs more than the computer with the
crippled OS! (;-))
