Almost unbiased opinions on this blog, very exciting!<br /><br />Anyway, most of what I said was just to bother Quintin, I do think OS X is great. Still, I disagree about Linux. In the form of <a href=http://ubuntu.com>Ubuntu</a> or especially <a href=http://kubuntu.com> Kubuntu</a>, Linux is ready for the desktop. It may never get to the desktop, but I do think it's finally a possibility. whoa! Almost unbiased opinions on this blog, very exciting!

Mac has its place... Bringin the ease of the Macintosh and the Power of a modern Unix/BSD to people... Unfortunately (and im saying this as a person who runs 5linux boxes at home) Linux is not QUITE yet for primetime users...

Linux is GREAT for Admins, Developers and Especially for Servers... Windows is great for normal people as they cant be bothered to learn whats better... and Macs are great for people who like Multimedia authoring (business grade) or for people who would like to ease in to the transition...<br /><br />As far as stealing features... who cares?...

Heard of “TIme Machine”? in eithercase there have been GNU utilities for Mac for this for years… to be honest… i like OS X, i like it even better with GNOME installed under X11.app … Mac has its place… Bringin the ease of the Macintosh and the Power of a modern Unix/BSD to people… Unfortunately (and im saying this as a person who runs 5linux boxes at home) Linux is not QUITE yet for primetime users… Primetime users dont want FREE… they dont want SAFE (no viruses, etc) they want to Play games, and as the apple commerical goes… create spreadsheets…

I think from an unbiased prospective… Linux is GREAT for Admins, Developers and Especially for Servers… Windows is great for normal people as they cant be bothered to learn whats better… and Macs are great for people who like Multimedia authoring (business grade) or for people who would like to ease in to the transition…

The more versions of an idea the more it is reworked the more it is thought through…. the better then end result…

And remember as for Apple and Jobs… they are simply reinventing something they had created in the past… NeXT had virtual “Workspaces”.

OH and BTW… Microsoft did try VDs… Their “implementation” if you can call it one is available with the XP PowerToys kit. (I use it at work, kinda cheap but does the job without comprimising the small ammount of stability i have on Windows.)
