Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista, The Rematch
An anonymous reader writes "InformationWeek follows up its widely read review where Mac OS X beat out Windows Vista in a head-to-head comparison, with a reader debate on which is really the superior operating system. From the article: 'Mac users love venting about Windows... Any company that calls their techs "geniuses" thrive in forums like this. They think they are "cool" and "hip," they don't care about the fact that they have to reset the permissions and turn on Appletalk every five minutes. Windows Vista all the way. If Windows sucks soooo much, how come more people are familiar with it than Mac OS X? Last time I checked, Windows wasn't just a business operating system. Tons upon tons of people use it and like it.'"
Whoever modded my comments as such can go suck a giant flaming cock.

running a load of services I may or may not use
No offense, but just because you don't see a list of services, does not mean OSX is not running a ton of system processes under the hood.
If you are using the internet, that is a networking 'service', you are using the Apple GUI, that is a 'service'...
These are the same things, just different terms, and OSX is filled with them just as much as Vista or any other OS out there...
