The hate on this article is crazy! Settle down a bit people.
I've got a 300Mhz PPC G3 with a modified radeon 9800 and a gig of ram, it runs doom3 very nicely at 1024x768. Try that on a 300Mhz anything else! The PPC had much better longevity vs x86 chips, RISC is more powerful, simple as that.
I've got an SGI O2 with a 200Mhz MIPS 12k processor, it's fast enough for me to do all my CAD work on it. The only time I export to my windows box is to do 3D modeling as the video on the O3, ironically, isn't fast enough. These are 10 years old at least!
Next, OS X isn't another pretty linux/unix face. It goes well beyond the likes of KDE, GNOME, etc, it's far more integrated and functional for what Apple desires their customers to see. This is of course also a negative, but comparing it to any other X interface is just naive.
I'm not a mac fanboy, those of you who know me will certainly be aware of that, but this hatred is ill-placed.
Now to chuck smith and bardia, wtf is a cisco certified tech? You mean CCNA, CCNP, etc? Guess that probably puts you at the engineering level, not the tech level you nitwit. Then of course there is that simple fact that being Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, Foundry, etc, certified doesn't mean you know dick about a computer, how you can even think that is crazy. Now if you can script on a Juni, you've got more talent for Unix, that's about as close as any of these come to having any relevancy to an OS.
And no offense bardia, but A+ is like saying you graduated kindergarten
but I do agree with you. I've been running every OS under the sun for the last 20 years and as long as you have them configured correctly and know how to use the correctly they all can be just as stable as any of the others, except ME, and 98 (not SE), no hope there.
To sum up, Microsoft is kicking ass with these commercials because it's making the public aware that Apple may be trendier, but it's not superior. Mac's have their place, so do Windows/Linux box's, everyone should just accept that and stop fighting over which one is the overall better OS, they do different things better, but neither is superior overall to the other.
