Oxford says Apple's OS X is a Linux distro 3221

Kelsey Bjarnason

I also don't like having to buy hardware from apple alone I like choice, and apple is doing whatever it can to limit my choices

No, but it also does not make it any better. It certainly still has its uses, but to claim it is in any way, shape or form "better" than other OS is simply bullpoo. It is more secure than windows, but quite frankly, what would not be better than that. It has less problems with hardware, but it would be an amazing feat to have so limited hardware selection and still have problems with it. It has less apps than windows (or linux), but thats the nature of the beast being an OS for a selected audience

This "consistent UI" is overrated at best. Studies have shown that as long as the selections are not in places totally unexpected, most users will use a different app just fine, without any problems. Same for OS dialogs, like "print dialogs" etc. As long as they are not *radically* different from everything else, users tend to use them without missing a beat

Well, Snot and Sandman where the main guys spouting the Mac-fanboy bullpoo in this thread. Snots purpose is all too clear: he wants to troll and argue at any cost, so he does just that. He simply starts to snip all content when he realizes that he is only ridiculed with his idiocy. It is the infamous "Snot escape version 1a" (version 1b would be to snip all, then claim that the other poster "dishonestly snipped" and is "trolling")

Sandman reacts quite the same. He snips all, claims that the other poster is "unable to read simple english" and acuses of "trolling"
