Linux threatened by Apple?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Aloone_Jonez:
The millennium bug was my favorite which was really retarded because the P200 I was using at the time was unaffected and even my old 386 would've been ok until the year 2020. :D

Anyway I really don't see how Apple are any better than Microsoft, all they want to do is make money, but they're not in a monopoly position but they'd like to be if they had the chance.

I completely agree. Long live freedom.

Aloone_Jonez:
I agree, but I mean more freedom of choice rather than free software per say, yes open source is good but it isn't the be end and end all. I think it would be just as good if there were three main proprietary operating systems with equal market share and like Windows and Mac OS and BeOS. They would all have to inter operate with each other and because there would be plenty of competition the quality would be good and people would have the freedom of choice.

Open Source is the be all and end all :-)

Choice is an Illusion, created between those with Power, and those Without.

Aloone_Jonez:
Buying software is no different than buying anything else, in my opinion having a large number of proprietary wouldn't be bad. You wouldn't be choosing from one power and another because no company would be in a significant position of power.

I rest my case freedom of choice is the most important thing, and yes freesoftware gives lots of choice but it isn't only way. :D
