I have a Macbook pro with OSX Snow Leopard and I have to say - Windows 7 wins. Sorry appletards, Windows 7 takes the cake this time. Microsoft took concepts that Apple marketed (as opposed to developed) and made them better. The key word there is better. This thread is for you all to figure out how I am wrong.


Yes, You are wrong.
Because the layer unther osX is Unix,
and before You bash,
You would known Unix is superior to
any Windows OS in an multitask, multiuser
and multithreaded environment.

Windows OS are insecure, even Windows 7.

Not to mention the numerous call homes to Microsoft
which invades Your privacy, when You update, install
or even use a program. Or things like indexing Your
media library to send statistics to Microsoft.

The only reason why Microsoft OS still exists is the
unfair support by all hardware vendors, who are attracted
to the money system of Microsoft and do lack support
for good drivers for Unix OS, or all things related
to gaming.

For the real (and secure) work, You need an Unix OS.
And not an OS who talks to all software vendors
what You are running on Your computer.

Put a Firewall on Your OS, and You would see how many
programs wants to call mommy. Or when the screen saver pops up, who makes outside connections !

You just prouved to be a smart ass.
You seems to known very little about what You
are talking about.

OK, I'll bite.

I'm a developer and have developed on just about every platform on the planet. So I know bits and I know bytes.

Unix is a fantastic operating system. I have nothing bad to say about unix in all of it's flavors. OSX is based on open BSD. Mad props to those that contributed!

However, any developer with creds worth a shit will tell you that the OS is UNDERHACKED.

Next?


OSX is not based on OpenBSD.

It is based upon the Mach kernel,
mainly FreeBSD and NETBSD parts are used.

OpenBSD is rather a Young variant in the xxxBSD family.

All the Best,
