Snow Leopard Writeup

[trvo]

Just saw this on PC World, bit unprofessional but I do agree with his point of view (I've been telling my boss exactly the same thing for a long time).

A bit unprofessional, that's an understatement.

Within the first paragraph it was obviously written by Windows supporter to slag off Mac's.

I wonder why so few people have "recommended" this article.

The article is crap, and just fuels the WIN/MAC "war of words".

Sort of article you'd love Trev, someone else capable of talking as much bollocks as you do ;)

Personally I'm not bothered who thinks what is best, Windows works well for me, Mac works well for others. Just preference but it is entertaining seeing these articles being thrown back and forth between MS and Apple.

Think I've actually been beaten there but close...

Yawn, didn't even bother reading, 1 because the site took forever to load and 2 because it would certainly be PC biased and anything to do with PC World is bad IMHO ;)

Reads like its written by someone who know's nothing about OSX to me and belive's in Window's 7 as M$ perfect product :)

Once you look under OSX Snow Leopard I think you'd get a nice surprise :)

OS X is based on Unix architecture. (Linux depending on who you talk to)

Nuff said really.

Whereas the Windows NT familly was (arguably) derived from DEC's VMS - The [I]One, True Operating System[/I] (and the only one to do proper clustering)[I]... ;)[/I]

In many respects, it all comes down to marketing (and politics), really.

isn't the ongoing release of new Windows products just a way for MS to dig themselves out of the enormous hole they dug themselves with the previous release.

I decided in the late 90ies to learn Unix / Linux. One of the best decisions I've ever made... Windows come, Windows go (plural). The unix command line hell from back then is still mostly the same.
I do programming out of necessity, it's not my real job. Still, 99% of the code I write runs on my environmentally friendly Linux desktop (as a Windows machine it would have been recycled three times over). If it's serious business, I can send it to the grid engine in the basement and let 80 CPUs grind away on it over night. And if it -must- be windows, edit a makefile, recompile under MinGW/MSYS and here you go. What? Visual C student licenses? ROFLMAO...

How many times did the windows guys have to relearn everything from scratch in the last decade? I know learning can be fun, but I'd rather do productive work, thank you :)

Sorry... i just had to post it.. no offense intended

In what way? I've been using Windows since 95, and i've not had to change much, until they dropped DOS, thank God they did, that was a horrible way to run games and stuff. I've had Vista since it was released, and no complaints here. Stuff that was written according to MS's rules for previous Windows, still runs. Stuff wasn't, don't. Simple. And I've certainly not found a package that works and does what I want the way Office does.

Guy's you clearly have far too much time on your hands!!!!

One mans meat is another mans poison!!! etc etc etc.
