A metaphor

[rgraham666]

Mac is Russia in the med 80's. A minimal set of options dictated and controlled by the central authority. But the few things that are there works pretty well.

Windows is Russia in the mid 90's. Everything is available, everything is for sale, the options are limitless. But to get anything done the way you want to, you need a negotiable sense of morality and the firepower of a small country.

Ooo! I like that metaphor Liar.

I like that one.

Off Rob's first metaphor, I'm a Wiccan there as well. I like being able to build my computer and fiddle with all the options myself. Not keen on the default mode; I like to customise everything and make it as hard or as difficult as I feel.
