X is also an operating environment, not an OS.  And you left out the
best PC GUI OS: OS/2.  And whether the GUI is an OS or an environment
has little relevance: the user's experience and the programming
requirements change by a lot.  MS-DOS is present under Win95, but at
such a low level that it is not noticed.

He did not say he had never heard of Rhapsody.  Read the friggin' post
before you flame it!  He said he has never _seen_ or _used_ Rhapsody,
which is a fair thing to say of most people outside Apple R&D, because
it hasn't been released yet.

WRT knowing more than peope with Ph.D.s in CS, he did not say Ph.D.,
he said degree.  This could be a batchelor's degree.  And you don't
need to know this area of computers to have a degree in CS.  You need
to know computer theory, logic and programming.  It is quite possible
that he knows more about OSes or hardware than somebody with a BS in
CS.  I know more about these areas than many doctoral candidates I
know, and I'm just an incoming freshman.

And he does not go to any college, he goes to high school or lower:
note the use of the word "teacher" rather than "professor" or
"instructor."  Do you actually know anything about colleges, degrees
or education in general?  Get past 7th grade before you post on these
topics.
