Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista, The Rematch

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 19, 2007 @06:29AM from the let's-get-it-on dept.

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.'"

Sadly, most Windows fanboys never used anything but Windows. Well, that's the thing. Usually, Mac folks, when they complain about windows, are doing so from a position of "I use both, I know what I'm talking about". However, so many windows folks bashing Mac, don't use them, or haven't in years, and completely disregard that OS9 and previous has _nothing_ to do with OSX, so complaints from 5 years ago aren't relevant. I mean, appletalk? Maybe it's there, maybe it's in use, but I don't think it is...in 5 years or so, I haven't had to care about it. And what is this "fixing permissions" thing he's talking about? Seriously, what does he mean?
