All this talk of fanboyism applies to Linux users too. Infact it applies to Linux guys more than it applies to Mac users. Linux fanatics are the biggest elitists & extremists of the lot. They hate Microsoft & think that it is evil!. And that Linux is some kind of angel which is designed fight this evil!. Bullshit!.
PS: The real war starts now...now that I brought Linux into this.

I am a normal person, with a computer. It's not a part of my life, it's just a machine that I use. I've got far more important things in life to do, than to worry about computers.
A couple of other very distinguished members have given up arguing with you, because of your posts. Would you want me to mention that?
So better stick to that field. You know nothing about Windows and also not much of Mac history which is evident from the OS 9 issue.
And stop behaving too childishly mentioning names of others here. That's the last thing one will do as a looser. Never forget, you are in Fight Club here. One is bound to get into arguements. It has happened in the past & will happen in future too. No question of giving up. Better read the quotes for Fight Club and enter here.

Sorry, but I don't know why people confuse windows haters with MS haters. I hate MS-Xp and its predecessors because I have experienced them a lot. I dunno about VISTA, so I cant say much about it, but only expect goodies from it. On the other hand, I luv MS-Office, VMware and agree linux is inferior in gaming department. So please clear ur confusion about linux users (refer to bolded part) and stop dragging other OS and its users into the debate!borg said:

Well, as for knowing stuff about Windows, I bet I can beat you any day hands down.
Well, despite being a l'oo'ser, I've got a great life.
I couldn't thank god less for the amazing life that I've got.

linux users do act same, but they are learners. Atleast they don't act elite, & they know there are not upto Windows in desktop usability department, but they admit they are catching up preety fast. Plz don't bring linux war here
@mav3
you again hit the nail. Steve jobs launched the Mac before Windows 1.0, he could have been the world's most richest person, his product could have been world most used OS/Hardware brand, but he lost to the serious & proper marketing methods of Bill gates with a good compeling product which was able to install on any X86 PC unlike Mac. MS littrally made the computing world what it is today, not Apple. Obviously Steve Jobs & Macboys are jealous of the success of Microsoft & it's users on many things
@ vimal
Half life 2 is not available, but it could be. The thing is, unlike ID software Valve, & many other game developers make their Game engine in DirectX, which cannot be ported to MacOS X
There is an OpenGL fallback engine in Half life 2, but it's nothing like DirectX engine & also its there just for compatibility purpose. Most of the games out there for Mac are due to id softwares game engine only

i've worked in all the three environments(windows and linux mostly and very little mac exposure), i've found linux to be the most stable of all and i'm using it most of the time now.
rather, i consider linux as the only free alternative available to users from paid OSes and the only way to curb piracy

Andy I believe Minisha Lamba isn't the most beautiful woman in Bollywood, let's have a new thread on that.

Lol. Your level of ignorance baffles me. During Apple's lull, John Sculley was the CEO, and not Steve Jobs. In fact, Sculley, a former Pepsi CEO, got Steve Jobs out of his own company.
From 1985 to 1997, Steve Jobs was not a part of Apple. From a dominant position in the early 80s, Apple lost out on market share, primarily because of Sculley.
In 1997, when Apple was very close to selling out, they bought out NEXT, an OS created and designed to stay platform independent(PPC and x86) by Steve Jobs. This marked the re-entry of Jobs into Apple.
As for Microsoft's success, the credit goes to Paul Allen and Bill Gates.

True. There is not one modern OS that runs as well as Slackware(XFCE) on a 500 Mhz P3 with 128 MB Ram. I can say that because I had run zenwalk(a slack fork) in Virtual PC(PPC->x86). It ran faster than any version of Windows.
Linux is probably the answer to Windows, because it is platform independent and more importantly, manufacturer independent.
