| Domicinator said: Fortunately, on Windows or Linux, I can go out and get every single one of those types of applications free of charge from any creator/vendor I choose. I don't have to get the blessing of Steve Jobs before I run something on my PC, and I certainly am not restricted to a small list of things that have been deemed acceptable by him. I can go to Download.com, find the best rated choice for my specific need, and I'm off to the races. BTW, OpenOffice is a perfectly acceptable alternative to MS office, and it's 100% free. Sorry, have to add this: Windows gets ripped on CONSTANTLY for all the preinstalled stuff. In fact, they're talking about taking it all out for Windows 7 and just having you download the things you specifically need. This is actually a move I do NOT support, but most MS critics do. |
Do people at least get warned for stating lies?
Anyone can create any application for Mac OS X. There's truckloads of them, both commercial and open source or freeware. I'm using QuickSilver, Adium, Amsn, OpenOffice, Handbrake, ffmpegx, jaikoz, VLC, etc... all excellent freeware software that was made on this open platform called Mac OS X.
I've been using windows back since the days you booted into DOS and had to execute windows for the GUI to pop up and I can tell you macs are better as far as stability goes. Which is no surprise since Mac OS X is nothing but a UNIX-like OS, much like Linux is.
It appears that the only reality distortion field is the one you create yourself to protect you from the harsh reality: windows blows and you shouldn't be using it unless there are critical apps you need not available on alternative, more robust, operating systems like Linux or Mac OS X.
