More specifically, that's just object oriented programming. Albeit with static objects. Ever written in Java?

System.out.println("Hello world");

Don't bash or insinuate things about Microsoft just because they happen to use the same wording that their Console object uses. Oh by the way, which makes more sense in that context: "Console.WriteLine()"? or "TextWindow.WriteLine()"? ... hm... it looks like a text window to me, so I'm gonna have to go for the second one.

The way I learned OOP it would be

Window print "Hello World"

or something like it.

OOP is so much more than object-dot-methot...

System (system object) out (output stream of the system object) println (method of the output stream object of the system object that prints a string to the output stream followed by a newline character). How is that not OOP?
