why Macs suck!

[Lemur]

Let me confess: I am an operating system floozy. A man of loose principles and unsavory associates. I'm not just bi -- I'm tri. I have a G5 OS X Mac and a dual-boot Athlon running WinXP and Fedora Linux. I'm a slut, and I know it.

The're all good. And they're all good in different ways. If I want to game or use a common app, I have the Windows love. If I need to run a quick server the Linux gives me bliss. If I need serious security OS X has the stuff I need. And if I'm too lazy to put together a real web page, and just need to slap up a quickie for the family, the iLife apps are killer.

Now if only some evil genius would combine all three, leaving out the following:

(1) Overpriced Max hardware.
(2) Ever-creeping DRM in Windows.
(3) Interface wonkiness in Linux.

Then I'll be the happiest Lemur on the block.

Don't go hating another OS until you've worked with it. There's plenty of love for everyone. Of course, only a man of low character would say that, but that's where I'm at. Say no to platform hate. Say yes to dual-boot love.

[edit]

Oh, and with the new Intel Mac OS X, it may just be possible to create a single machine that boots three ways. Who's up for a three way? I know I am. The key will be getting it all to work on an Athlon 64 dual-core machine ... oooh, I sense a new project coming on ...
