Isn’t there a Trillion or similar client for the Mac that will take care of this? Oh wait, this blog is old.

I’ve pluged so many different USB periphials, without OSX drivers, and just tossed the PC disks away – people don’t know what plug ‘n’ play is until they use a periphial (USB or firewire, made in the last 4 years) on a macintosh.

As a Network Admin, for Mac & PC’s I can honestly say that there are some things the Mac does do better – namely Plug ‘n’ Play. Their limitations come in the form of proprietry data handling software for certain bits of hardware. Something that is not made as huger issue as it could be by an innumerable amount of small, concise and effective shareware apps that do it all, anyway.

The worst thing is the ‘cult of apple’. By maintaining such a strong control of hardware and software, their machines are elevated by pointless asthetics and the general elite smugness that the pricetag & prettiness induces.

But to refer back to the story – why would you want MSN? Thats like desire for an AOL client.

yeah macs look good on the store shelves with all their bubblegum colors, but when you get them home, forget about it. they’re terrible and don’t support a lot of peripherals or other hardwares and softwares.

parents buy them for their kids off the shelf because hollywood says they should – when they product-place them in almost every teen movie and tv show.

yeah, they really suck.

apple sucks anyway. always has – always will. much worse than windows.

prof. tech around the globe – and several i know personally – say that apples are the worst computers and software to have. and that the stupid ipods are also terrible, especially because they have many conflicts with windows.

stay away from apples. they’re rotten to the core.

Microsoft views OS X as a high rival. OS X is basically unix/linux with a very good GUI. If redhat would develop a similar UI for the x86 based arch, then windows would go byebye quickly. The only saving grace that microsoft has is broad software support and broad hardware support, give real GUI support tot he PC on linux, and windows risks all the cards.
