Lodragandraoidh's Journal: OS Wars

I come bearing an olive branch. I stand astride the precipice seperating CLIs and GUIs, Linux and Windows, plain text versus proprietary file formats.

The questions I hear always revolve around the core principle that there is something universally 'right' or 'wrong' about operating systems - and that we can discern those qualities.

The reality is nowhere near this black and white paradigm. The truth is each one of us individually holds the key to that answer, and we are all correct!

Given the truth of that statement, isn't it silly for us to argue about any OS aspect without prefacing it with 'For me...'? For me, Linux is the best development workstation OS. For me, Windows is a toy that lets me play some of the more interesting games available.

For you, this might be different, but then again, who am I to tell you how to enjoy your CPU cycles?
