With the flop that is Windows Vista. Ya ya I know, you’re gonna put up your flags and get bent out of shape cause I’m talking about Vista. Get the hell over it.
From looking at early versions of Windows 7 (Milestone 1) it looked an awful lot like Vista. Which I consider a bad thing. Now here on my work pc, I use Vista. But for gaming, I use my girlfriends XP machine. My point being is, Vista is bad. I have tried using a MAC, and it just seemed awkward to me, but not a bad OS at all. I actually did do a few articles on the MAC And God forbid Chris Pirillo doesn’t throw a brick at me, But I feel the Mac is not enough for me at this time anyway. The experience may be different for those on Leopard. I have only used up to 10.4.6 Tiger. This was also on a G4-400MHZ machine with 1GB of ram. That could very well have something to do with it. Back to Microsoft. XP over Vista any day, but I got a free copy of Ultimate, so I’m gonna use it.
Windows 7 on the other hand is amazing. I used the Beta for a bit and plan on downloading the Release candidate sometime down the road. But Windows 7 may be a very good option for user’s of XP and a MUST for users of Vista.
Next in our roundup is Linux. I got a few words for Linux. Not user friendly. And do not tell me that Ubuntu is user friendly. It’s debian made pretty. I have heard user’s say they had to at least use Google once to fix a problem in Linux that they knew how to do in Windows, Mac, and hell….even the Amiga OS. Linux is not the future in my opinion…unless it becomes much more user friendly.
What about alternatives..? Ya what about those?
I have a couple.
A console. If you’re a gamer, get a console. It’s far smarter to buy a console then it is a PC. Plus many pc games are available for the consoles of today and they support the keyboard and mouse.
If you’re on a PC, OSX is an option on your PC…but not exactly legal.
Really though. If someone tells you I won’t buy a Mac because it has no games. Then you DO NOT need a Mac. And if you’re buying a Mac just for pc gaming in bootcamp, slap yourself with a pig bladder for making a stupid move.
If you buy a Windows PC to run OSX, Pray it works. OSX is not 100% compatible with all PC hardware. Do research. If you run Linux at all and are just starting out, uninstall it now and use Windows. It’s painful, but it’s easier.
So what do I suggest?
PC – Gaming, Office, E-mail, General purpose.
MAC- WoW =/ , E-mail, General purpose, somewhat open, office, it has MS office.
Linux- Hacking, Must for people who are control freaks, Ideal for OCD folks.
DOS (yes I said it, I still use it!) – Quick and easy (like someone’s mother.) I call Dos easy and straightforward. Someone is gonna say so is Linux. And I say nay nay, Linux has too many commands and switches.
For now however, I am done gloating.
