I like the Unix ish shell, but if I wanted a stable unix ish operating system, I can down load one.
just does not make sense to me.
I am in Brenford, working with EMC this week, and I had a confo with some of the people over a coffee regarding this subject and they agree.
Blah blah blah. Why can't PC people realise that not everyone wants to be PC drones, not everyone likes the pointless geekyness of PCs, not everyone thinks Windows is cool, not everyone wants to battle with viruses and not everyone compares computers' specs like a game of top trumps. Some people believe that the OS is worth every penny because they want to spend more on what they consider to be an all round better computer experience.
You and your boffin buddies could spend a week explaining to me exactly why I should buy a PC and it wouldn't make me change my mind in the slightest.
