Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-live-without-the-rhetoric dept.

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."

      A link would be useless as it's on the front page and the links are the same, ninth item down as of this moment. Hate to say it, but you obviously didn't look very closely.

      Yes, I have a (relatively) low UID. I've been here for many years. /. is my home page. It has a /etc/hosts entry so when DNS is screwed up, I still have a place to go. I like it here, but I'm sick of ./ being polluted with trash from other sites.

      Have I ever gamed the karma system? Sure, it's fun! But when I submit a link, its original and not ripped from the front page of a competing site. That is just totally lame, in my opinion.

      I've made my point. I won't post anymore "Don't post Digg stories!" complaints. Maybe the editors will scan Digg before posting submissions? Perhaps they can scan /. while they're at it? :)
