An operating system to run your computer for you. If you are moderately computer-savvy, e.g., you understand that buying and installing anti-virus protection, internet firewall software, spy-dectection software, etc., actively safeguarding your own computing environment, e.g. you don'
t use ANY vendor's email client software, open attachments with extensions like .exe, etc., don'
t subscribe to file-sharing networks like shareaza which put BIG FUCKING HOLES in any other security software you may have installed, then you probably won'
t experience all the horrid "crashes" reported by the naysayers.
If, on the other hand, you're an unemployed software programmer whose resume was shit-canned by
Microsoft and you have nothing better to do with your
day than find "holes" in the OS, you'll probably find what you're looking for. As for me, I like to look at
beautiful (a-hem) pictures and movies, keep track of my finances, get information off the internet, and just generally have a GAY ol'
time on the internet. Windows
XP couldn'
t be better or easier to use.
And P.S. Will somebody please kill and bury Quicktime and Apple? Talk about way past their prime...they're like a Jaguar competing in an Acura and
Lexus world...nobody's saying the Jaguar's aren'
t pretty...it's just that the Lexus will actually GET YOU THERE TOO!!!
1) I bought one of the first
MAC's ever. No...NO...I did NOT buy a LISA!!
2) Steven Jobs is a GOOD
guy, Bill Gates is a BAD
guy. And their respective bank account balances clearly prove the point!!!
3) No one will hire me because I refuse to accept the project manager's directives. So, instead, I've installed
LINUX to facilitate my hacking into WINDOWS-based PCs, just to show how suck-ey their god-damned OS really is.
4)The Tower of Babel is infinitely more desirable than a
single, standardized approach, if you really care about instruction sets, for Christ's sake!!!
5) Let's
win the marketing war by cornering the education market, so all those poor school-kids can fuck around with apple software for ten years until they graduate into the REAL world.
