So you thought you would find here an impartial, knowledgeable comparison of RISC OS with the more popular and better known operating systems? Think again; I have been so steeped in RISC OS, since even before its appearance two decades ago, were that possible, and I am so ignorant of other operating systems, that I cannot honestly deliver to you a balanced picture. Well, that is the modern usage of apology over with, so let us get on to the older sense. Note: This is the 2nd entry to our Alternative OS Contest which runs through 14th July!

Both, of course. Just because you're not an average user once you start writing code doesn't suddenly not make you a user: being a user is a continuous property. Just because you stop using your computer at night doesn't somehow negate the fact that you are a computer user, for example.
