Understanding my problem with Windoze….
A lot of people have the mistaken impression I “hate PC’s”. This is entirely not true. The “PC” architecture offers some pretty good bang for the buck. To be completely honest, I own several PC’s myself. What I don’t like is what people typically choose as their default operating system, and why they choose it. Do most people tend to do any homework when choosing an OS? No. They typically just go with whatever the reseller delivers on the box, not realizing the headaches and security nightmares that lie ahead. Someone has written up a nice (and objective) article that goes deeper into it. I particularly like the last paragraph and am happy to say I’ve chosen the same “something else”.
hmmm… so i posted this rant on my blog this morning… 3 pcs and 3 macs - 3 pcs not working - 3 macs cranking after > 9 years of service
