Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP

LXer has an interesting look at the big three operating systems with some surprising results. From the article: "If you think that a Linux advocate cannot make an objective analysis of desktop operating systems, then you need to read this report. You may find yourself surprised with some brutal honesty that leaves out the free software philosophy."

So Macintosh is to CHICKEN!!!

"Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP"

Have you ever noticed that in the scheme of naming meat for the three big land animals is completely broke?

Cow == Beef
Pig == Pork
But CHICKEN is still just CHICKEN ("Poultry" doesn't count as it encompasses all domesticated food birds).

Using this known quirk, we can safely assume, that if all of these Operating Systems were a meat, Macintosh would be CHICKEN!

Well, I dunno what it used to be running on, but right now I'm going to guess it's running on a mixture of molten plastic, metal, and smoke.

I read slashdot every single day and this is the first time I've ever come across the term "Ubuntu".

Ubuntu has been mentioned regularly.

It must be Digg that you're reading. Slashdot is the ugly site, remember?

I stopped paying taxes in 1998 and that has worked just fine too!
