Truth.
I am user of all three systems (Macbook Pro+Homemade PC), and they all got huge problems.
Snow Leopard - Damn thing crashes very often. Maybe it's not the bluescreen, but there's no real difference - just a spinning ball, and freezed computer to restart. Problems with handling NTFS files, crashes 30 percent of times when i copy something to external memory of any kind. And my printer doesn't work there.
Linux 10.4 - Although it haven't crashed (but it may be because i don't spend much time there), there are many problems with programs, installing things is hell, and there are no noteworthy substitutes for many essential osx/windows apps. Working there requires knowing command line.
Windows 7 - Unluckily for this comparison i had to think a lot to find something bad. Just as Linux, when used normally, it does not crash anymore (last bluescreen i remember was in Release Candidate version, during installing of beta drivers), but when you make too much mess it will slow down - registry still present.

I love the Troll hat he's wearing. took me a while to get it, but once i did... i laughed...and laughed...and laughed.
Its not really possible. You start out with good intentions but you have to make compromises almost immediately. You can pick any two of scope (how many supported devices, programs, formats, etc..) quality (how well it runs) and cost. Actually, I'm not even convinced you can do both scope and quality since scope means you have to interface with other peoples broken drivers/apis/formats/etc...Prof. Monkeypox said:
Timely Video Win! My brother spent almost 10 hours fixing our mom's blue-screened windows 7 PC last night.
According to this AmigaOS is the only windowing OS that doesn't suck. Sounds about righ*** Guru Meditation #00000100.0000A002 ***.
Ubuntu these days is pretty easy and painless to get up and running. A lot quicker and more hassle free than Windows anyway.

I've been a Technology Support Specialist for years; I've used, mastered, and programed for every OS since win 95 and mac OS 6. I say that to say this... This video made me cry.
It so true. I'm going to have to dust off my commodore 64 and remember what I was like when things never froze... things just took forever to load.

Or because with Linux, everyone can see the source code so security holes get patched shut about as quick as they're found. Or because with a completely transparent security system it can just worry about security, rather than making it completely black box. Or because the average Linux user is a lot more tech savvy than your average Windows user so they wouldn't be as likely to pick them up.blue_guy said:
