Ya gotta be stupid to pay the price Apple wants for their hardware. It’s the same hardware Linux and Windows runs on just rebranded with a half eaten apple and stuffed into an Apple case. Transition: 0.Mac may have cheaper upgrades but the cost of the hardware is ridiculous. Support positioning:sticky, The Safari requires a -WebKit- prefix. Linux has all that eye candy and more and it’s free.NEW: theres also a native Windows and Mac app so you can enjoy smooth.Take care of them and they’ll become obsolete before they break. The fact is that modern electronics are very tough and durable as long as you protect them from heat and voltage spikes. I run BOINC which means they run 24/7 and I haven’t had a hardware failure in years. I build all the PCs I run with off the shelf parts.
Sticky Windows Mac May HaveThe basic ideas is to allow people to patent math when the math is written in ones and zeros and executes as computer program, and so thereby prevent anyone else from using the same math in “unauthorized” computer program. It’s part of their plan to “encourage innovation”. Government has made it illegal. Anybody with half a brain in his head is running wrote “The real question is…why would anyone make an operating system that didn’t have basic features like DVD playback?”The U.S. Yah, some of are forced to run Windows/Mac at work because that’s what your boss wants but we’re talking here about what you run at home when YOU are footing the bill and making the decisions. Manufacturers were tied up in patent litigation.The quality of your Linux (or Windows or OSX) experience really depends on what you use your computer for.I’ve found linux to be a really good troubleshooting tool, core server, or media manipulation(compression,transcoding, packaging and mastering) environment. But the airplane industry first developed elsewhere because the U.S. A plane first flew in the U.S. Can you imagine that The Microsoft Network, or Compuserve, or America Online could ever have evolved into the global network we have today? For an industrial era example look at the history of the U.S. Even more so, Win 7, which is one of the best of the sorry lot, is quite a nightmare, seriously, no DHCP – no internets for Windows? Who came up with that idea?Once you fully switch to linux you won’t want to return. It is if they on purpose make crappy software for a lot of money. Seriously, I, as an IT manager, then CIO at my firm have experienced so many frecking problems with windows that I have no love for MS whatsoever. Which is the best working machine ever. But dude, seriously, “Plasma crashed” is not a reason to think so of normal linux: Ubuntu. Now thats all assuming you haven’t got the money to buy the right Windows Server OS, but it is a very good substitute. There is ultra fast transfers no crashes ever (when used properly) and to boot It never has gotten a virus on any of the computers at the data center. Also Vista is a very good OS if you are using it as a production to a SAN’s, or Terminal setup. 13,00$ for a mac when a 7,000$ HP is just as good. I think its hilarious so many people fall for the marketing scheme. The windows community just sucks compared to the linux community, not to mention Ubuntu Forums.I love this comic, even though the UPDATES may be free, the computer is sure not. What is the equivalent of excel for macThere is no easy way, painless way to upgrade a Linux distro in place. Well that’s a whole ‘nother joke. The update manager can handle this.However, upgrading from one Distribution version to the next. Email me at for more information.So, what you’re saying is that when new versions of Adobe Photoshop come out for your Mac, they cost nothing? You have already admitted that new versions of Mac cost money.You see with Linux you can actually upgrade your software down to the actual kernel for free. Also vista is one of the only OS’s that natively supports SATA hot swaps of the OS drive. After that it works like a charm, depending on the version you can set up a network boot type stye that updates the local hard drive, and in my experiences requires little to no restarts for any updates. But, I think the whole point is Apple likes to charge for everything and control everything. Let’s face it Mac folks spend a lot of money on software. When that happens that distro will dominate the market and the world will flock to Linux.Lighten up Mac folks, it’s a joke. Someday, far far away, some bright FOSS person will come up with a tool to extract the configuration for an installed distro, and then restore said configuration with an in place Linux upgrade. Then doing all the configuration again. Not to mention that given Windows 7 costs 6x as much as Snow Leopard, many more people would have upgraded.All that you’ve done is make something up about OS X, and then use what you just made up to make fun of both OS X and mac users.You really didn’t even bother looking into the prices for each operating system, did you>Dear Apple fanboys trolling on this page,On one side with an OS from 2001 (XP), you can get service packs for free to get to a supported version (SP3).On the other side you need a version from 2007 (Leopard) to be able to be still supported.You pay only for upgrades with Mac, but you are forced to upgrade frequently.My first contact with Mac was to install a X11 sever on a Panther. Your audience (tech people) are a lot more likely to have updated software than the average mac user. This is corroborated by the number of reviews on each)Now, both Snow Leopard and Windows get updates for free.In what fucking world does your comic make sense?“Still, I checked my web traffic logs and you are almost all using the latest Mac OS 10.6.”Uh, did you account for where your traffic came from, and what types of demographics they are. It says right on the page that 75% of people buy the $180 version, and 12% buy the bit builder version. It is made for the sake of just being able to run older machines, and to avoid complex updates, even though upgrades are free. There was no archive of previous releases of XFree86 binaries that could work on Panther.Several distributions of Linux have long-term support program. However you were required to have Tiger to install it. I do not find Microsoft very appealing forcing you to upgrade at least to XP SP3.
