Ever since I can write a program with a GUI and compile the same source code on just about any platform without putting #ifdefs around everything. If Java isn't cross-platform, then what is? And don't say "C/C++" because you can't do Jack without platform-specific libraries (MFC, X11, etc) or messy "cross-platform" libraries like Qt, Gtk+, Tcl/Tk, etc.

That's a little presumptuous. I'd argue that the orignal Xerox team that came up with the first graphical OS was much more important. As were the people who helped move computing from the business world into homes (read: Steve Jobs, Compaq, etc).

and, uhm, say if i was to download the linux source then modify it and screw around with it, would you still consider linux better then windows?

Anyways, please note that i am not anti-o/s but i just want to make sure i have my facts right...
My take would be that yes, the Linux kernel is an OS. After all, it can run your computer and execute other applications.

If you download Linux, screw around with it, and then recompile it, it's no longer Linux. It's now your custom code based off of Linux. Anyway, this is kinda like asking "if I went in and randomly changed a few bytes of user.dll, would you still consider Windows to be better than DOS?" Even so, I would still consider your version of Linux to be better than Windows for the simple reason that I could take your source code, fix it, and have it working again if I chose to.
