I see a lot of comments about innovation. But lets not forget both Microsoft AND Apple stole the whole GUI operating system from Xerox. Yes thats right folks BOTH MICROSOFT AND APPLE STOLE THE GUI FROM XEROX. Apple just beat Microsoft to the punch with the Apple LISA and the LISA Operating system. I have owned an Apple LISA, yes they were cool when they came out but were not what I call innovative. I’d call it stolen, or should I say borrowed.

Oh, lets not forget that BeOS and Mac OS X are both decendents from NeXT’s NeXtStep. Well technicaly Mac OS X is based on OpenStep but basicly the same thing. That’s not what I call innovative. I’d call it stolen, or should I say borrowed.

If you want to argue about what operating system is better then I think you should try them all before you can say one is better than the other.

I am typing this post on an iBook G4 with MAC OSX. I also own a couple Sun Microsystem Workstations with SUN OS. Among my collection of computers is an iMac with UBUNTU Linux. A Quad Xeon with Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. A Dual Pentium with Windows 2000 Advanced Server, a laptop with Windows XP Pro. A Dual Athlon with Windows Vista Ultimate. A Pentium III with Vista Home Premium. A Pentium 4 with XP Pro.

If you want me to tell you witch operating system is better I can’t because they all serve a purpose and have advantages. Windows has advantages over OSX, OSX has advantages over Windows. And Unix/Linux has advantages over Windows and OSX.

If you want to say that Apple has better hardware than a PC then I would say you never built your own PC or owned Sun Microsystem equipment.

Bottom line…

If you like MAC then use a MAC
If you like PC then use a PC
if you like Linux then use Linux

And one more note…

If PC hardware is so bad then why did both Apple and Sun Microsystems switch to the x86 platform?

Rubbish, OS X does not install straight out of the box, you need to download a hacked version, and it runs like crap compared to on a mac.

“because fucktard steve jobs is too tight fisted to give out the source code for the hardware ”

WTF LOL
Last time I checked, people didn’t make hardware by typing.
