Right on! However to me, windows is the "new technology", the new kid on the block; if it can't do UUCP it's raw-new! 
Amazing how some people think nix systems are "new technologies", when they actually pre-date windows by decades!

No you misread.
I know how old unix is. However Linux is circa 1992-1993 so newer then windows.
And your misunderstanding is how I said new technology. To a life long windows user unix is new. So please leave the linux guru attitude at the door. It will quickly be wiped out when one fails to read into responses.

You are quibbling about variations on an old theme. Linux is nothing more than a replacement for SCO Xenix (an X-86 version of AT&T UNIX) the difference is akin to the differences between PC-DOS, MS-DOS, and DR-DOS. If you can deal with one, you can deal with the rest. Linux (and X86 Free/Net-BSD) is nothing more than an X86 version of UNIX, which pre-dates DOS and Windows by years. They all work the same way, and differ very slightly.

But technically since the Linux authors claim it was a whole new rewrite of what THEY thought the environment should be it is a new technology same as windows was.
Different peoples looks on an OS. Very slight differences indeed but They are not the same technology since Linux was recoded. Again a difference of opinion by the authors of the software themselves. Same as the dos example.
