God, why did they do that? If there was *one* thing I could change in the
computer word, it'd be that. Seriously. Leave it to microsoft, i guess, to
change the standard and confuse and annoy thousands of users of both
systems.

Also, why didn't they put tab-completion into DOS? When I used Unix for
the first time I was like "...wow...this is the best!" :)
