windows destroys Mac OS for the simple fact that windows is much more widely accepted and supported. nobody likes macs. they are the ignored child of the computer industry. they get no games and a bunch of junk ass programs. the only saving thing from mac is the iPod. but now the battery on those only lasts for a year
and they say Macs dont crash. tch. i crashed macs plenty of times.

haha thats what Jeff Cun said, some one asked him why he had a mac, and he said "cause macs never break down, they are the most relyable" 10 minutes later you hear the words "stupid mac! it froze and all my homework is erased, god why does it always screw up" (im sure the language was a little worse than that though, cant remeber)

well i said that they the same, but well not entirely, mac i beleive has the potential to beat microsoft, which i am sorta not hoping on, i am not a big fan of macs, they jsut to damn easy, but well microsoft has put us back 10 years in computer industry and is becoming more and more for the dumber user, XP has taken away some stuff from 98 in which they shouldn't have, its taking away the user's ability to have complete control over computer and is becoming more and more like apple with the easyness. now im gonna tell you the story cause its sorta fun to tell.......... ok, back in the day when computers were jsut being studied etc. gates as the little geek he and his friend were, they designed a stupid little disaster called DOS (disk operating system) now his mom, either worked or knew a person that worked with IBM (I think, cause Gates only created microsoft, IBM before him) and well got him a meeting and gave IBM DOS, but at the same time, the creators of Apple allready had a GUI system, something like windows3.1 very crappy, but way ahead of DOS, and all microsoft did was stole that idea from apple, but it took microsoft a few years to finally get the GUI system out, now if apple which i heard that they were on a plane going to meet IBM when gates had interview, if they had gotten there, showed IBM the GUI system, they would have had more money to upgrade their systems etc. and would have had more years to do the upgrading, completely skipping DOS, get it? if apple had more money when DOS came out, and made better business deals, apple would have been years ahead of where we are now

But Microsoft was more favourable and therefore more software was created for it, most games have troubles or can't even run on macs. Mainly older ones, seeing they relied on DOS, though there are source ports to help fix that. XP and 98, XP without a doubt is more stable and better handling with Ram, though its DOS capabilties were mostly diminished it still can run it. DOS in itself is a catch 22, it is good yet it is horrible. As good as they both are I preffer Microsoft seeing it is more convenient with more applications being for it. Though Macintosh does have some very nice programs for making videos and such.#nosmileys#nosmileys

i don't see whats the ruckus on Macs being better for multimedia programs etc etc.
i saw the benchmarks on the new Hyper Threading Pentiums, and they completely destroyed the Macs in everything, from rendering to FPS in Quake 3.
they may have a program or 2 that are nice, but still newer comps own macs hard.

microsoft when apple had its GUI system was nothing compared to apple, apple was quite popular when it first came out and even after windows came out, but not for that long, they made bad business decisions and lost the edge, and windows jsut glided through looking like they figured out GUI which even apple ppl didn't i believe, but wasn't for computer based etc. microsoft has put us back, and thats all i got to say

they put us back years since DOS slowed the computer world down those years, if they went with the GUI system first, windows and DOS would be non existing and they would have been years ahead of the game with GUI, but nope, they took DOS, get it? they added an extra and really crappy step which took a few years and put back the industry

it wasn't their fault, it was just plain unlucky, the IBM guys went to see the apple guys or some guy other than gates, but he was on the plane and IBM said well to bad, and went to crappy DOS, and I ain't that grateful for what i have since they have put us back, and i been thinking about changing to linux or soemthng like that, but i saw a commercial with IBM basically promoting linux meaning that they are scared that it will become better than windows, which it most likely is cause it was created by the people for the people and even you and i could add changes to it, but we both probably ain't that smart yet, so linux i think will destroy windows in the future

if you can't appreciate what you got, you don't deserve it, period.
and yes, linux is like FUBU. For Us, By Us. but it will never reign supreme over windows for the simple fact that windows is just simply more widely accepted. there are people who will use it, but that's just a small percentage. it's like vegetarians vs meat eaters, 100 years in the future not everyone will be meat eaters unless all animals go extinct. everyone will continue to use windows for its accesibility and the linux users with stick with their OS.
plus, linux is mainly used for servers that people with windows play on. they do have a cool mascot though..
