[Powdered Milk ManSS]

Windows has been around about the same time as Apple. Apple was huge with the Apple 2 and microsoft was just starting to develop.

Both have their advantages (windows and Macs), Windows is good because almost every program is made for it. Its also user friendly, simple (for those who only know basics) but also complex. If you know what your doing you can make windows a wonderful Operating system. The only problem is that its a resource hog. It's huge. It is practicaly gurenteed to use a quarter of your RAM no matter how much RAM you have. It comes with almost every dependency installed so you dont have to worry about it, But that f_cks over the speed of the system.

Macs are good for multimedia. The Hierarchy allows it to multitask better and use the processor better. ...yea...

Linux is good because Linux its self is just a kernal. Thats all linux is. True linux does not have a graphic desktop. Its command line only. But almost every linux comes with Gnome or KDE. Linux comes with almost no Dependencies. So you dont have tons of processes running that dont need to be. But if you try to install a program that needs that dependency (for example Apache needs READLINE and such) you need to go find that and install it.

Linux is compatible with everything. Just about nothing is compatible with Linux.
