Thsi is one of the best articles I have read so far!

Clicky

Don't know how/if many will agree

Whether one agrees or not, it is nonetheless very well written and an interesting approach to the OS world and to "evangelists".

No, just read the whole article. Mac OS X gets the same 'treatment' for example.

It's a well written article. I think his experiences with Vista echo a common thread by most folks who got Vista with a new machine from the major OEMs, in that they managed to take an OS that really did need decent hardware and a decent load environment and place it on substandard hardware, and then load it down with crapware/bloatware and substandard drivers. In the end, this is how I felt about recommending Vista to colleagues and friends - go ahead and take the plunge with a new machine, but make sure it has 2GB RAM or more, at least an 80GB HDD, and for their own sanity make sure the first thing they did was reinstall Windows. Most technical folks have known to do this for years, but I'm sure the vast majority of folks (the non-technical) don't, and that was Vista's downfall, more than anything else.

I think Mac and Windows both have advantages and disadvantages. I don't think either one is better than the other. if Windows didn't exist and Mac only existed, what would happen?

if Windows didn't exist and Mac only existed, what would happen?

We wouldn't have FAT32 vs. NTFS or 9x vs. XP kind of flame threads?

BUT, we would have some "is Mac Linux or is Mac BSD" or "linux vs. BSD" flame threads allright.

No, it wouldn't change the world....

Ah ha! I remember using Microsoft Bob! It wasn't that bad really.

It wasn't that bad really.

You do understand that the comparison should be made with System 7, or with Norton Desktop, do you?

Next thing will be that DOS 4.0 wasn't that buggy....
