The only thing that’s now left for them to do is to donate to the OpenSSH project :)

That's really nice that they've finally decided to add something that a lot of people needed in 2005.

I know it’s a joke, but OpenSSH is not that old: its initial release was in December, 1999.

Looks like it was forked from some predecessors ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell#OSSH ) but doesn't go into the history much more than that. I remember telnet, where there any encrypted predecessors before the ssh family?

Windows ux is better out of the box than on any Linux so far, it's really polished. The office suite is also much better than alternatives. So just switching the kernel to Linux would be enough and super winrar.

Does Linux have the equivalent of WinNT's i/o completion ports to prevent heavy I/O from freezing the user interface?
