well, rm can only be used on things you own, but if your a super user, a shell script could change permissions on things owned by system to you, then you could just

#!/bin/sh

cd /
chmod 755 "System"
rm -r "System"

running that under root would kill your system

I don't know about MS DOS though,

And your point is? All systems has some sort of command that could POTENTIALLY eat your computer.

yea. survival of the fitest. if your dumb and give your password to any old program, you will die.
On windows, you don't even need for them to give it to you. it's stored in an easily accessible file.

Sub-par? How so. 4x DVD-RW/24x CD-RW in one drive... now up to 8x DVD-RW... I fail to see the sub-parness of that.

I see it.. the CD speed is crap, and they add $200 to the price of the computer.
