Sub-modern, eh? Where are the roots of Windows, of Mac, of X? Surely not a point of debate, so let's simply jump to current times. Can X be used as a full time, fully functional GUI? Of course not, the majority of office applications are not written for it. Of course, Star Office is more or less a cheap port, but has it gained acceptance? Certainly, which promtes further development. Why is MS dominant...possibly due to what is available for it? Linux will always have competition...Mac is deep rooted and well developed, plus, as it stands today, Windows is still the standard (don't ask me why.)
It's nice that such drivel has a place to be vented. Ever hear of X, how about Star Office? All this, AND Apple builds the best hardware in the world? Cute fantasy.
