A Mac User’s Opinion of Linux

“When talking about Operating Systems, I always develop my rants
mainly around GNU/Linux and Windows. I’ve criticized Linux fans,
some Linux distros, and I’ve been harsh on Windows. However, I’ve
never talked about Apple’s MAC OS X. The reason? Well, I’ve never
been near enough a Mac and I doubt I’ll buy one any time soon.
Besides, I don’t really like to talk about what I ignore…that
spells trouble! The same reason motivates me to keep silent about
FreeBSD, Chromium, UNIX, and other Operating Systems, although I
feel somewhat more willing to try those.

“Now, some days ago, I was reading a post that compared Linux
and Windows Vista/7 and I found among the comments one that caught
my eye.”
