And at least windows doesn't make you pay for service packs.
Neither does Apple, actually (see 10.x.y updates).
Play them technicalities for me again, Catfish Man.
It must, of course, be noted that, for all their failings, Microsoft doesn't release another $100 version of their OS every year and a half.
Contrapuntally, Widgets = the shit. Conflicted!
not to mention that IF Apple didn't release their OS every single years, and if we estimate what OS Apple have at the time XP was release, it would be... just about 10.1, so I used 10.1 before (on my old shite G3 iBook, you know, the colourful one) and I prefer XP over it, until the latest OS which is 10.2 it got better with age.
if Apple didn't release a new OS every year, it'd still be frankly shite, Windows XP is probably the oldest and yet the most stable OS ever (try and give me an OS that was made and release in the same timeline as XP and you'll see) the way I see it, Apple release their unfinished beta to the public and then make the public pay for every improvement, the more OS they release the stabler it is, it was until 10.3 that OS X is beginning to be quite stable.
why I still use OS X? simple, I prefer it, I just like to simply use it for web browsing, Photoshop (thought it tend to be slower than PC) e-mailing (Mail has less feature than Outlook Express even), chatting and the occasional movie, music too etc. it's an everyday computer, the interface alone make it very comfortable to use, and if it crashed, you're not bothered, you simply just restart the application/computer, while in XP the interface wasn't very good (fisher-price appearance) and to be frank, Microsoft made the appearance not knowing enough about how people would react to it (which we can see with Vista, the interface has greatly improved overtime since the first beta of Longhorn), and XP felt very industrial especially under Windows 2000 theme.
speaking of that ad which you has posted, it's pretty much the same as Tim did in CAD v
http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comics/20060513.jpgApple users can be gigantic throbbing cocks, is the general statement I am implying. Seriously guys, condescending over computer brands is among the fucking dumbest things I've ever heard. It's up there with people holding prayer meetings to ask God to lower gas prices.
heh, I'm a die hard Mac User, and trust me, I've seen that everyday, some of those are almost like Creationist going around claiming that Evolution is a hoax and it's fake.
