The bad thing is that the McAfee site requires MSIE. I was helping my brother try to rid his computer of tons of adware so we naturually go there only to be refused since we were currently using Firefox.
It's like McAfee doesn't want to do business with you if you aren't running a well-tested virus vector.
Everyone knows Red Hat makes their money on service, not the OS. And are you not up on the fact that Red Hat no longer sells a desktop version of Linux? They promote Fedora now. More proof of my position. They begrudingly made an enterprise desktop version available -- but they still make their profits off of service.
The Xbox is a game console, not a PC. Everyone knows that. Quit pulling red herrings out of your pocket.
Novell doesn't have a desktop product.
Sun sells systems, not operating systems. You'd think you would recognize that and quit bringing up such companies.
You also forget that Mac OS X has already been sold by itself on the free market just like OS/2 and BeOS and it too failed. I think you'll recall it was called Nextstep back then.
Yes, but Pixar was already contractually obligated to those two points. The fact that Jobs wanted to renegotiate them is beside the point. Disney didn't gain anything when Pixar dumped them -- in fact they lost a lot.
OK, the new Fedora thing has me a bit confused. This is a test release. Is that different from any other Fedora releases? I thought they were all going to be test releases. Is there going to be a stable or production release?

Buy a Logitech, geez.
Microsoft has never invested in Apple. Microsoft has settled lawsuits with Apple in the past, however.
They do have a shrinking marketshare, but that doesn't mean they have reduced system sales. In recent years their sales of systems are up.
Probably that and that the iPod is built like a tank.
What is with all of the Directv plugs? Is the submitter part of Directv's subversive marketing group?
Couldn't you have at least linked us?
Is he holding an iPod?
Ummm, yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.

You were supposed to be listing companies that succeeded selling OSes. Not companies that merely sell OSes.

No, that's one.
Apple and IBM sell systems. Microsoft sells an operating system. Actually, IBM proves my point. They sold OS/2 and failed.
You named one.
It was obvious that we were discussing desktop operating systems. Your last two are not in that segment; they were both embedded systems.
Try again.
Before making such a bold statement, name two companies that have succeeded selling an operating system.
It's pretty hard to take a guy that dresses up as Obi-Wan seriously.

Or devolve. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
#1 was always the case. #2 was always the case.
Many desktops at Pixar run Mac OS X. It's documented on the behind the scenes featurettes on the DVDs. You're obviously a troll.
Pixar is investigating mingration of their render farm to Xserves running Mac OS X.

I don't know about you, but I usually see Megabyte abbreviated as MB rather than Mb. :)
Cool, I didn't know that.
