[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.system

...This is implemented by calling the Standard C function system(), and has the same limitations...

Which limitations?

BTW, is the Windows 98 comment can be dropped.
