Windows has had its share of miscarriages but I’ve never used a better operating system than (fully patched) Windows XP.
Of course I did have alot of fun with DOS growing up ... ah good old warcraft.exe
Let’s just say a lot more thought and effort went into coding OS X than with Windows. While neither is perfect, I give nods to OS X and this is from a person using XP. Though, I have heard good things about Windows 7 (what Vista should have been).
Easy the Mac OS works well all the time ( that’s my home system). My office computer (Windows yuk) comes and goes, randomly decides to wander around on its on. Makes ridiculous decisions about whether I can install stuff. It is junk and I hate it. Unfortunately, when the “cost” is calculated NO ONE at the home office EVER includes the cost of my time to screw around with this machine to keep it working.
As an IT manager and a user, I’ve always liked and supported the IBM architecture although the 512k 8086 machines left a lot to be desired.
The enterprise I supports uses Windows and Linux servers.
I’d like to get my hand on a decent MAC; one of the developers I worked with at my last job had a MAC book that booted XP and Windows 2003 faster than the native machines.
The thing I dislike about the MAC is I don’t need a lifestyle, I need a computer.
I did love the commercial from many years ago where a guy is giving a presentation to a packed audience and his machine crashed. From the audience you hear things like, “Edit your config.sys or autoexec.bat”. The last comment was, “Get a MAC”.
Did Unix learn to shoot from a rap video???
What’s with the Mac obesession? Seriously, seek help.
Mac users are like the betamax users of old, they just know it will make a comeback and take over the world.
Out biggest hope is that the Applebores will all commit suicide the day Steve Jobs dies.

Please note newscaster’s final comment.
“..and the kernel stays minimal”
LOL! It’s amamzing what passes ass “minimal” these days..
PC’s suck
They have juvenile ambitions. A computer is a tool, nothing more. I think this mental midget is related to Mac sales somehow and this is nothing but advertising. Imagine if a mechanic on FR kept posting advertisements about Mac tools or Snap-On all the time? Maybe that’s what I should do. For every Mac computer thread I should hijack it and post about Mac tools.
Windows7 will put OSX in a hammer lock it will never get out of. Between this and the new clone maker from Germany Steve Jobs will have a full plate the day he returns
New Mac Clone Maker Appears in Germany
New Mac Clone Maker Appears in Germany. Wednesday February 4, 2009. A German company has started selling a new Macintosh clone called the PearC.
Over 350 of your fellow Freepers have asked me to keep them posted on issues relating to Macs.I do it. What is your compulsion to enter Mac threads you are not interested in and start throwing mud?
After 8 years on a PC, then 10 years on a Mac, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment.
“What’s with the Mac obesession? Seriously, seek help.”
Use a Mac, and you will understand.
Jeez, that sounds creepy.
