Monkeys Don't Like Macs

sebFlyte writes "silicon.com is reporting on a new twist on some oft-done probability research, into the suggestion that an infinite number of monkeys will eventually produce a perfect script for Hamlet , given typewriters (or indeed keyboards) and enough time. The researchers claims that the monkeys used in their test preferred using systems running Windows XP to those running Mac OS X. Which begs the question -- do only monkeys use Windows, or can even monkeys tell Macs aren't worth bothering with?"

  1. humans vs. monkeys by ellingswin · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    even though i like macs, monkeys are related to humans and most humans use windows. It depends if this was an average monkey or a genious monkey. you see since the more people are educated about computers the more they use macs. Maybe this "average" monkey was hired by microsoft there are many questions here.
