“The story is as familiar as David and Goliath, Rocky and
Apollo, or Coke and Pepsi. The underdog challenges the big
establishment/bully to a duel, overcomes overwhelming odds, and

evil. as it is a skirmish between two well-established operating
systems whose actual differences can be measured in
micro-seconds but whose perceived differences are often
measured in light-years.”
