I’m not a fan of any of them. But, I mean, what the hell man? The following points apply to Microsoft, but not to Apple? If you think so you are clueless, because in reality they apply more to Apple than anyone else in this business.

- Expensive, closed source software with restrictive licensing model
- Long history of pushing own standards and ignoring/sabotaging others

Why stick with just one of them? Isn’t that type of monopoly what we should avoid?

If one truly wants simplicity, hire a valet who is responsible for all your technical needs. Otherwise, be a smart consumer and adopt what fits your needs.

Even the technophobic can find some offering from each of these and more that suit their needs.

For the technophiles, Linux and MythTV are musts.

Short answer, Roy’s assessment has merit.

I simply hate Apple. (I can actually mention way more reasons than the ones stated there)

I was personally delighted when Vista came out because it really showed how Microsoft f viewed there users. XP was decent and I used it a lot but only because there were two programs I needed to use in my shop. For personal use, I’ve been a Mac user for going on 10 years. I have only had one incident where the hard drive crashed (compared to 3 on various PCs). In fact, you can count on one hand how many times my newest Macbook has even frozen up over the course of 3 years now. Google has become an internet powerhouse and with that comes a lot of scrutiny and responsibility to the people. I use various apps from them, Gmail, Analytics, AdWords, etc. and they perform well, however I do feel they are on the verge of, if not already, infringing on a lot of rights. I think they need to get divided up a little bit and that would allow for better regulation. Overall, Mac has its downfalls just like everyone but I still prefer and highly recommend them. Microsoft… eh, it works, half the time. And Google, its the best of its kind, for now.

I think that Microsoft has done a wonderful job of spreading the rumor that Google is too vast and powerful. Ironic. Other than that, I find them the enemy of innovation. They will get along great with Rupert if that News Corp deal goes through.

People complain that Mac is all about the label, but I have both Macs and PCs and the last time I replaced my laptops, the PC equivalent to a Mac was $1500 more expensive, and it was running Vista. Much as I love Mac, they seem to base decisions about system requirements based on what Steve has in his office, like getting rid of disk drives because he had his own T3 line when most of us were still on 56K modems.

But from the first time ever I saw their interface I’ve loved Google. It’s amazing that 2 innovative brains could also be so good at running a business that they can give away so much. And there’s nothing about me that some agency doesn’t already have archived to ensure I pay my taxes after the Big One. But I trust only Google not to abuse that info, like when the government “had to have” that search info “for National Security” and then decided they could do with less after Google told them to go stuff it. Plus Google Earth!
