Behind The Coolest Gadgets - Linux or Windows?

Posted by timothy on from the no-wait-it's-forth dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Sister sites LinuxDevices and WindowsForDevices have kicked off what they're calling the Great Embedded Device Smack-Down, to see whether Linux or Windows Embedded powers the best and coolest devices. The Smackdown highlights more than 350 gadgets in nine categories, along with some entertaining "pre-game commentary" featuring the latest market share figures for the two OSes and a whacky clipart image of Stone Cold Bill Gates taking on The Tux."

    If it runs Microsoft's software, then it necessarily has some sort of DRM on it. Thus, I'd have to favor Linux.
    Nope. Not true. A Big Old Lie.

    My father used to say: "Better to remain silent and have people wonder if you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." In your case, all doubt was removed 4 points ago.......

    ATTENTION DUMBASS, Do NOT use the word "whack". Unless of course you want everyone to know that you are a SIMPLETON.

    The only appropriate time for you to use the word "whack" is when describing the relationship between your hand and your penis.
