Hi all, i use all 3 os's win xp, linux and OSX. (osx is best for me for what i do) . My opinion is this, linux will remain the Tron generation whilst there are so many Damn versions of it that have barely any differences apart from minor features and how they all install their software. To use a mac or windows doesnt require any knowledge of terminal commands or installation types. You just download and run. Im getting sick and tired of windows users who have never used Linux or Mac slagging them without any user knowledge, my opinion is that this makes them sound ignorant. As ive used all 3 i can safely say that i prefer OSX and in truth the only reason why i even bother with linux is because i hate windows and i cant get OSX working on my old PC. If i could, then i like many Linux users would probably go the OSX route as the software for the most part on apple is superior and the ability to customise the environment is far better than on windows, not to mention the security features blah blah. I dont want to get technical i just think linux people tend to be geeky and do bring it on themselves sometimes, i had a conversation with someone at work the other day and he said, i dont use windows i use Linux huh huh, with a geeky smile and laugh, i have to be honest, even though i have all 3 myself i still thought you Prat. He just looked like such a geek, and yes he did have a beard and wear glasses. One or maybe two versions with all the features need to be in the market place, Im still looking for something with Kiba dock and XGL already enabled from the first install. Im totally fed up with having to create my own OS with Linux. Bring on OSX, almost everything anyone would ever wish for. I get no fun from endlessly customising my desktop. I see my computer as a tool for doing a job, i see it as the following. If i spent an hour on my PC running win XP i would probably spend half of it clicking endless popups and getting frustrated, 15 mins spent fixing something and the other 15 mins actually doing what i went on to do. The same hour on Linux would be spent trying to work out how to get my wireless card to work properly and connect to my network so i could go on the internet. and on The mac (sorry guys) it just works! first time, every time and id be all finished doing what i budgeted an hour to do in about 20 mins as usual.
