That bug is over five years old. Are you implying there haven't been similar, or worse, bugs in other operating systems since?

Windows used to suck, but it's somewhat unfair to judge the platform of 2018 because Vista of 2006 was bad for you.

To be fair, the overall context of the conversation isn't (all) "other operating systems" but, specifically, mainframe ones. Additionally, the GP referenced "the past few decades", which certainly includes 5 years ago.

Hopefully a mainframe expert can chime in as to whether the major mainframe OSes have included similar or worse bugs.
