Comment on What If Steve Jobs Hadn’t Returned To Apple In 1997?parent

Linux, Windows and the whole PC world has also progressed a lot in the last 13 years, it seems a bit unfair to compare the state of now with the state 10 years ago. I am not saying Mac lovers don't love their PCs for a good reason - they have their personal reasons, so be it. All I said is that basically Macs also are just PCs.

Also, it is not really fair to compare Apple to all the other PC vendors out there. Some of them probably produce crappy machines, but others don't.

I was listing the OS's I use mainly. I still use windows every once in a while (When I really have to), and obviously use Linux on servers, and occasionally desktops.

One of the key things that puts Apple in a different class though is that they create the hardware AND the software. That's a big bonus and gets rid of a ton of potential hickups.

I'm not sure why you've been downvoted... the Windows experience has improved immeasurably in the last 3 years (even XP).
