Hi Richmond,
I tend to be more optimistic on people's responses. :)
As afar as Linux is concerned, you piqued mu interest as I have been
watching Linux with a keen eye for years. When I went to check out how
Torvald's O/S was doing, I found this...

Not very encouraging, is it. Linux may not be a "wild coyote lurking on
the fringes," but at #5 of 5 and only 0.75%, Linux has it's work cut out
for itself.
FMI - If you know of other sites that have different results, please let
me know. I always like to get a comprehensive perspective.
Fair winds,
Calvin

First off: it seems well-nigh impossible to get a balanced comparison
from anyone.
Second off: Linux is not "out there" like some wild coyote lurking on
the fringes; it
is already mainstream.

Howdy from Texas, Y'all!
I would like to do my part in good time, but I am still learning;
however, if somebody out there does work on Macs and Microsoft, I
would really like to see an unbiased, or at least a fair comparison
between strengths/weaknesses of these two titans of the personal O/S.
Sort of down the lines of, "Macs really are much better at stringing
foobars, but Windows wins out when it comes to gizwort constructs" and
"Did you know Windows can do this...,but on a Mac you have to use this
work around."
I have been a Microsoft user since DOS (1984), but have been quite
intrigued by what I have garnered from the Mac discussions on the mail
list.
Any takers?
Calvin
PS - I realize Lnx is out there too! :)
