Why Do We Fight Over OS's??

I am unsure why, but windows is the best.

Er, I should have made my meaning clearer. I meant "use" in the sense of actually operating as a power user or root, not a limited school account or in a best buy.

But you can't deny it's silly that Apple runs their site on Linux and Windows rather than Mac OS X, or that the only decent operating system they made was one based on a third-party kernel.

Thats only because apple does not make servers, they use linux but that is because linux has the best servers, this has nothing to do with os systems. We all know every thing that Microsoft comes up with has problems for example take visa, every one says that xp is a lot better so it almost like Microsoft is moving back and not forward. And tell me when you have used a mac outside of school or in a showroom like bestbuy please.

Poor red vs gr33n, all he was asking was why we fight over OS's. We should stop debating in this thread.

Start a new one, if you feel like continuing. But I have already got this post, I'll just put it in a [spoil] and you can read it if you want by quoting this, then start your new thread with your replies to the content of my post.

Apple DOES make servers. http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/
Why not use their flagship server product? http://searchdns.netcraft.com/?rest...st=*.apple.com&lookup=wait..&position=limited

Notice how most of the Apple owned domains are "unknown".

Microsoft runs their site on Windows Server operating systems. http://searchdns.netcraft.com/?host=microsoft.com&position=limited&lookup=Wait.. The only Linux servers they use are for their search and download pages, and Microsoft isn't the netblock owner for either of those pages.

We all know every thing that Microsoft comes up with has problems for example take visa, every one says that xp is a lot better so it almost like Microsoft is moving back and not forward.

Give me some examples of those problems.

And tell me when you have used a mac outside of school or in a showroom like bestbuy please.

My above post said that I only ever DID use Macs at school and in showrooms. But there is still evidence I can give to argue against OS X. [/spoil]

I prefer, Win XP over Mac and Vista. Its all up to what you like.


People will fight over anything. That's why.

Alright i don't flame windows. I use it.

Never said you did. This thread posed a question and I merely answered.

and sorry but i don't know what BSD means? care to share?

Basically, I mean that the Mac OS is nothing special. You can get similar OSs for free for the PC.

and overpriced hardware well.. if u add the new iMac+windows on that then It's about the same price as a normal desktop except much sexier + 2 OS's .

Just wrong.

oh and why would someone want to use Mac? to each his own. I love the interface and all the little programs that come with it and now that they can run windows too saved me buying another comp and is very convenient

So are these "little programs" worth the time spent constantly running Windows apps through parallels VM?
And the interface... what is it? The skin? Like that cannot be changed. And the flexibility of KDE/Gnome interface is great!
There are simply very few reasons to why someone would need a Mac.

We all know every thing that Microsoft comes up with has problems for example take visa, every one says that xp is a lot better so it almost like Microsoft is moving back and not forward. And tell me when you have used a mac outside of school or in a showroom like bestbuy please.

And MacOS and Linux never have problems?
Vista is new, it's not an XP update, even though people will say it probably has a majority of 3.1 coding still in it. That's just stupid. So like all new programs, it needs time to update perhaps.

i've posted a thread about operating systems asking people which ones they used. I ended up getting flamed to death just because I use Windows XP/ and Mac OS X.

and I wasn't sure if this would go in the Something for All so I just posted it here.

But the simple question is why do we fight over operating systems people use?

ok I use mac so what? you use linux... thats great. i don't care which OS i use as long as I can get the most productivity from it and i've been using a mac for a while and it does everything I need to do. it aint which OS u use but what u do with it.

I mean if we fight over something as silly as what computers we use why dont we fight over what cars we drive? i mean we could flame every single person who drives a Honda but whats the points in that?

Answers and Opinions please

Wow you own a mac? Go die.

 

[superman1478]

Almost everyone says that linux is best. Why is this? I've never tried to use it, but maybe i should?

 

[Shadowed_Eye]

Windows All The Way!!

Seriously, Linux is alright and Mac is just shit.
