[[email protected]//]

What do u think....Microsoft or Apple..which do u think is better? which do u have?

[Skhorpion]

Apple makes hardware and software

Microsoft makes software

not really a fair debate

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

microsoft is better

[Skhorpion]

your reason?

[Whisper]

I like both
I've used both
both kick ass

[ThePhantom]

microsoft

I really have never messed around with apple besides on school computers and i think they suck . . plus many games and applications for windows cant be run on apple. . .you COULD get that one windows thing update to be able to run windows programs and all but that like SO defeats the prupose of getting an apple . .

apples are only to be used in movies and schools ,sorry

i would have to go with microsoft...apples are too cpmplicated for me

[ThePhantom]

[quote[apples are too cpmplicated for me[/quote]

quite the opposite!

[Skhorpion]

does apple even have a command line

[Kiros]

Even though the people didn't make it? :P

[Skhorpion]

even though the people keep it alive

[Kiros]

Eh, those are modifications. The kernel and OS are still under copyright :P

yeah...microsoft is used for the work like word and pwrpoint..idk if apple has any of that

[i'm_not_sarcastic]

Both, to be fair, have their strengths and weaknesses. Microsoft's OS is unreliable, Apple's newest has only crashed on me five times in two years' use. Windows, however, does have the best selection of software.

As for whether Macs have a command line, yes they do. As Mac OS X is basically Unix made to look nice, it has a full console system. Generally it's found under Applications:Utilities:Terminal.

So yes, anyway, I use a Mac for basically everything, and I like Apple's software. Pages is very much an adequate replacement for Word, and is MUCH less pricey.

Linux I gave up on last month when it kept freezing.

Disjointed post, sorry.

pfft i like The People better

meaning linux (its open source)

i mean Linus (inventor of linux)

chown -R us ./base

wait what r u just talking about

[Kiros]

Linux command syntax :P

[Skhorpion]

chown = change ownership

-R = recursive to all files

us = one receving ownership

./base = file/directory being changed

all of your base are belong to us!
