Totally agree with you though. I have a Linux based OS to be my SO SRS operating systems, and windowz to be my gaming system.

It's just the same boring shitty hardware though, either made bigger or smaller. Ipad is just a big iphone touch, ipods are just resizes of the originals, and they all use the same ballocks software. Where as windows is continually bringing out new originality and usability and features built in, while apple relies on third parties making all the apps for their hardware etc.bakonslayer said:This shows that investors have more confidence in Apple growth than Microsoft. Which makes sense since from the Wall Street standpoint, Apple has the iPad and a new iPhone coming out whereas Windows has Windows 7 and new Windows Mobile, which are fantastic, but unfortunately are not as physically tangible as an iPad. But this has been a trend for the last few years and Apple has been continuously successful in their hardware. Windows on the other hand, makes great software to the point of monetary stagnation.
Strictly from an investing standpoint, Apple REALLY has it going on right now.
And it made such a GREAT documentary.Burningsok said:
In the long run windows will still be here long after apple is dead and gone.
Yeah but middle aged women and vegetarian indie kids will buy anything that looks good and advertises on ease of use so they don't actually have to understand how it works.
I know, I know, but handheld gaming has just never really caught on with me. I got a Gameboy SP back in the day, and never owned more than three games for it.Johnnyallstar said:
Excellent choices, by the way, if I was smart enough to run Linux and/or dualboot/had the kind of scratch necessary to compile two PCs, I'd do the same.
Indeed, nothing worse than being stuck with quite frankly disgusting inferior hardware and no custom upgrade options or ability to build from scratch.manaman said:
Indeed, I've got Linux on my Eee PC laptop because it loads up in seconds and quite frankly works a lot better than windows on that kind o system, especially since it's used for office stuff etc.Skylane14 said:
Quite the same here. Thank you for a more concise and intelligible phrasing than I've been trying to bang out.manaman said:
Does pressing a button to make a fart noise still qualify as a game? I guess I need to lower my standards.Johnnyallstar said:
I kid, I kid.
Honestly, I see apple as the leading creator of fads. They create aesthetically desirable gadgets and through appealing to a less tech saavy audience, they have earnt a lot of money.
I however dislike their focus on aesthetics and particularly their unwillingness to cooperate with other companies in order to make things easier for the user.
Microsoft seems to produce consistantly usable products that will never become unused because they are no longer 'trendy'. You don't see all that many people who know a good deal about computers and tech using macs, I can tell you that.

I was actually being sarcastic about the ipod/ipad thing haha. Most people don't have tons of exposure to Linux, so it can be really daunting at first. I grew up on an ancient UNIX box, so Linux is second nature to me. But if you get into the community, it's full of people willing to help. If you want to, look into something called Knoppix, you can mount it right to your Windows, and run it as a mounted OS just to get the feel of it, or run it as a distinct OS of itself.Skylane14 said:
If you want to check it out, here's a link http://www.knoppix.net/ it's rather neat, I think. Allows people to play with a Linux OS without having to partition drives, or anything.
I couldn't care less as long as this doesn't mean that I have to switch. I am a well entrenched PC user.
