True. Let's rephrase as "if you want your programs to do the same things 
they did under MS-DOS, they're just as hard to write now and no harder."

My point is that programming has gotten easier over time (such as with the 
invention of OOD, sophisticated IDEs and debuggers, etc) but the ambitions 
have grown greater.
