Linux, Microsoft, Apple! It’s so confusing! which
operating system is best? I’m here to tell you, as briefly as
possible, that it doesn’t matter. First of all, the majority of
users are like me; they see their operating system for no more than
three seconds, before launching their favorite application. Second,
we know you all want money, even the Linux companies. also, we know
you’re in bed with the hardware companies.After reading the line on the bottom of the new Mac OS X,
display box, I now know that it is the “Most Advanced Operating
System in the World”. All this statement tells me is that even
Apple can’t be trusted to be completely honest.…We want to frag the our opponents, and play chess. But we
don’t care too much whether our desktop background is centered or
tiled. We don’t even freakin’ notice when the mouse changes as we
roll it over an icon! My advice is this; go back to the drawing
board and make my computer simpler. Make it quicker. Where do I
want to go today? Today I want to go play Quake III. I don’t care
if your name is Bill Gates, I don’t care if your name is Steve
Jobs. Just get me there in under ten seconds. But if you’re name is
Linus, I’ll give you fifteeen seconds, because I like
penguins.”
