BBC To Host Multi-OS Debate
Bananatree3 writes "BBC is currently seeking submissions from all you Microsoft Windows, Mac and Linux devotees "in 100 words or less, why you are such a supporter of your chosen operating system and what features you love about it". They will then select one user of each platform to go head to head in a debate that will be part of the BBC's Microsoft Vista launch coverage on January 30th."
I agree with what you've said completely but I'm also sad about it.
Recently I had to dick around with OS and the general fun of things not working. When I was trying to pick which Linux distro to use or to stick with Windows, I came to the conclusion that "Everythings a bitch and has problems". Where as if everyone had stopped being dicks and gone "screw this, lets just make a great OS" together we could have the most amazing thing ever.
If humanity got it's act together we would have our Jetson's world by now, but instead we're too busy focusing on money and pointlessly shit to do it. Which is really a shame.
I like muppets.
I've used OSX, Linux and Windows extensively, and Windows has the best balance for me. I like to use the keyboard whenever I can, so OSX is out. I like playing games so Linux is out. That doesn't leave me much choice.
