Entry: Take My Computer, Please Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/take_my_computer_please#1658 Post contents: Vista is a virus, an STD (Seriously terrible data). I would no more install anything from Redmond than I would lease out my wife. Even so, Microsoft's offerings are like the greenhouse flowers that usually die even with great care, and even when they don't die are often sick and wilt as time goes by. Linux may be more like a weed, but weeds are going to be around long after the monocultured fecalware has gone extinct. There are tiny linuxes, huge linuxes, linuxes for PDAs and mainframes. It is slowly encroaching every ecological niche. Apple at least has a Posix/unix core, which makes it much more stable (I'm typing this on my MacBook Pro). Vista was 8 billion dollars to make DRM lock in content and make sure you activate. Maybe several times, each time giving much $ to Microsoft, and so you can't play HD DVDs except on expensive hardware or with crippled, fuzzy imaging. And so you can't copy Zune music. Otherwise it is XP with the previous generation of apple's innovations gotten wrong (Apple's animations and transparency have function, Microsoft's imitation is just eye-candy, e.g. windows shrink to their place on the dock so you know where they are, while Microsoft menus just take forever fading in and out).
