Editorial Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

An OS is just a means of accomplishing a task. If I can get a job done with Windows, I will use that. If DOS works better, I will use that. If SuSE 8 works for a task, I will use that. Some people will use one OS on thier computer, while others have a multiple boot platform. We don't critizise people for the car they drive, or gun they carry, so why should we critisize people for the OS that they choose to use? It is not like it affects me if some guy 2000 miles away uses MacOS, *.BSD, BeOS, DOS, *NIX or Windows.
