Oh, so if MS started making thier own PC's to sell there wouldn't be a problem with MS Windows being pre-installed? But If MS started making PC's would'nt you guys start calling them an even bigger monopoly than they are now?
It is a catch 22. LoL

Microsoft does make their own PCs. It's called the X-Box. It comes with Win2k. I have no problem with Microsoft selling their own PCs, as long as they don't force other PC manufacturers to sell their PCs with a Microsoft operating system.

The Xbox is technically a PC but it is labeled and marketed as a console. To use it as a PC(a multi-function machine that can surf the net, play games, do work, etc.) you have to install a mod chip into it. So technically MS doesn't make thier own PC's(due to how the XBox is marketed).

Ok, so they should get their own PC, then they have every right to sell only Windows on it and not bully everybody else around.

Ahh, here we go.
This is updated since the first time I posted it and it throws Linux in there also. Unfortunatley OSX 10.2 isn't in the comparison, but I'm sure that it still has alot of shortcomings. MAcOSX doesn't even support DVD-RW and Floppy drives out of the box. What a joke. Windows has had support for DVD-R AND DVD-RW for a long time..so why does Apple only want to support DVD-R? From the way it appears, Linux is technically superior to MacOS also.
Once again, I'm not afraid to show that MacOS is not all that and a box of chocolates.

(EDIT)Ahh, I see that there is some OSX 10.2 comparison in there..whats this? FTP uploads are broken in Jaguar, there are 802.11b issues in Jaguar, etc. How interesting.

i liked the conclusion in this article.
quote: Conclusion
The features-oriented chart above does not take into account the ease of use of a particular solution. As Bruce Tognazzini notes in his discussion of Fitts's Law, it is important to look at the user's productivity, not the computer's. Generally, Mac OS X and Windows XP are far easier to configure than Linux-based systems. And, despite its limitations in a few areas, Mac OS X is arguably the most elegantly implemented and fundamentally usable operating system currently available, despite occasional user interface gaffes. See our Mac System Software Section for a closer look at Mac OS X 10.2.
