Windows Microsoft's "You find it, you keep it" campaign, which directly attacks Apple, has seen another instalment. The first one, with Lauren criticising Apple for its pricing policy and lack of choice, was met with mixed reviews, and I'm sure the second one will not be received any differently. Giampaolo disses Apple for a lack of power and being all about aesthetics.

What deficiencies? Usually people on the internet just writing this FUD without proving or giving points.


Mega *LOL*
Your comment is really funny. So Windows has only one problem: FUD on the internet. Of course Windows itself is perfect - its just the users that are a little bit limited!

*Bruhahahahaha*

(Go to O'Reilly's website and search for books about 'annoyances'. *Hm* - I wonder why the term 'Windows' appears so often in the search results ..)


Windows NT core is as good as anything else.


Yeah, especially when the OS almost goes to its knees when you put in a CD with a few scratches and things like that ..

Sorry, the product speaks for itself and what it says is quite the opposite of your opinion ..

(Ever wondered why they never managed to bring their "all new and better" Vista to the netbook world or why the OS was inflexible enough to run decent under low resource conditions, while you find Linux kernels on almost every device and Apple ported OSX to the iPhone's in less than half the time Microsoft needed to produce something lame like Vista?)
*Nah* Good modular system design is not done in Redmond. That's way Windows server starts more and more to ape clean and simple *nix systems architecture.

In fact it would be stupid to have only unix-like systems in the world.


Wouldn't it be equally stupid to have only Windows-like systems?
And still Redmond is trying to reach exactly that with their "we don't care for standards we didn't bought ourselves" politics.

You should concentrate on what you would like to express with your words not trying to fight others. You can't deny that it's just plain FUD. There are no reasons, no descriptions just that Windows is bad.

Yeah, especially when the OS almost goes to its knees when you put in a CD with a few scratches and things like that...


At my workplace I work on macs. I always have more problems with them than pcs. Mac OS X is not better in any way so it's totally pointless to make bold statements. For intance last time I was scanning something at work then this happened: http://kukacosalma.buzz.hu/files/macosx.png
Then a few weeks ago i got a new wd passport usb hdd and I had to connect it to the mac. Mac OS X had a kernel panic instantly i connected the drive. Can you show me another operating system which freezes when you connect a usb device?

And then there is Transmission, the btclient. I've never seen anything like that on any other system that an application which doesn't use any additional drivers/kernel extensions can hang the whole system without being able to do ANYTHING just moving around the beach ball of death.

Let alone the fact that Apple engineers were pissing on security as we've read after every pwn2own contest...

You know that's why I know that it's bullshit what you're talking about. Because i experienced for years that OS X is not better at all. Not even from a usability point of view.

With a capital "I" - I think we get your point - YOU prefer Windows and YOU have problems with them...

Sure, my Windows XP laptop freezes when I plug in my external USB drive.
