There are some flaws with DOS. Mckay's probably a pro-Linux guy. And almost everybody that's used Linux, likes it, including me.
This is probably what Mckay is referring to.
Originally posted by WikipediaMS-DOS 4.0, released in July 1988, supported disks up to 2GB (note that typical disk sizes were typically 40-60Mb in 1988), and added a full-screen shell called DOSSHELL. Similar or better shells, like Norton Commander and PCShell, already existed in the market. This release had been considered very buggy. On November 1988, Microsoft addressed many bugs in a service release, MS-DOS 4.01.
MS-DOS 5.0, released in April 1991, included the full-screen BASIC interpreter QBasic, which also provided a full-screen text editor (previously, MS-DOS had only line-based text editor), disk cache utility, undelete capabilities, and other improvements. It had severe problems with some disk utilities, fixed later in that year. The fixed version had been called MS-DOS 5.01.

It's basically the the interface all Windows, Mac, and Linux users use.

GUI = graphics user interface
I loved this episode from start to finish. The Elizabeth parts were slower but I think completely necessary, and you can't and shouldn't have 42 minutes worth of blowing stuff up. The second half was fast paced and intense, the obstacles kept changing, keeping it interesting.
The character moments to me were spot on, for all of them, it was very strong episode to kick off season 3. The writing in this was much more solid than what we saw in too many episodes in season 2.sigpic

Boring episode. The wraith are just a boring enemy and SG:A really needs to kick their asses and move on. McKay was over-the-top with his whining this episode, felt so contrived. The whole Weir going to Earth part was dumb and something they could've skipped entirely, I wanted to fastforward through it but I couldn't. Weir sucks. Why did they have to blow up Orion? Too many plot holes too, they need to use the asgard beaming technology more. To be continued, YAWN. The SG-1 opener was much better and it wasn't that good.We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

See, you say that you don't like that in a character, but on the other hand, how well would you have handled a situation? I'd start begging for my life. I'd join the Wraith worshippers or something, but I'd definitely be freaking out. Mckay just panicked, like almost 98% of the world's population would.
