I didn't say anything assuming you'd reached any kind of conclusion about the ETF approval. I just asked WTF your links about Shkreli's friend had to do with it; I didn't "argue" anything by asking that question. Perhaps those critical thinking classes you teach should cover the concept of non sequitur!

My bad on this, I misremebered. And I could care less about trump so stop trying to sidetrack with that (yet another red herring).
Of course you upgraded Os2 systems to NT, Duh that was years later. Your missing the point of my argument is that it failed even though it was better tech than win 3.0 or 3.1 I forget which was there at the time and WFW 3.11 was the nail because it had the networking bundled in. As a matter of fact M$ killed alot of gereat tech by bundling it in windows. They outright ripped off stacker and NU had to sell or would have had the same thing happen to them.
Well, I didn't upgrade *all* the os2 systems to NT. There was that one Wally guy who was a die hard and would not switch because "boo hoo muh precious data silo" or some such lame excuse.
I should have gone BOFH and/or Evil Ratbert on that dork. "Ohhh geee did that circuit accidentally get switched to 220, making your stupid overpriced Genuine IBM workstation into a smoke machine? Wow...that's just toooo baaaaadd!!"
Heh, I 'member Billgates of Borg assimilating all the 3rd party utilities. They even got antivirus eventually! Though CCleaner still lives....
But I'm glad to no longer be writing my own Winsock config and dealing with Cygwin or whatever in muh IP stack.
The relevance for Monero is that "better" is a normative term, defined relative to the subjective task at hand.
OS2 may have been better in terms of under the hood technology and for power users running the latest 32 bit apps, but for users requiring compatibility with protected-mode DOS programs using the older VCPI interface, OS2 was a non-starter.
