Windows 2 Apples Episode 4
August 14th, 2007 — inetsynchAs I look back over my previous posts and podcasts I suspect some interpret my comments as Microsoft biased rants against Apple and the Macintosh. I want to take this opportunity to assure my audience I am not wedded to Windows and I truly want an alternative to the PC that delivers the kind of security, utility, beauty and robustness that Apple adds imply can be already found in the Mac.
Tonight I have been trouble shooting the Windows IE 7 browser on my Sony VIAO tower. As I write this I have the second Virus scan running … a good old 2 or 3 hour scan is always my knee jerk reaction when things go sour in Windows.
I have tried Ubuntu and have experienced the same issues I always encounter when trying a new “user friendly” desk top Linux distribution … too many things simply don’t work, drivers are not available for my installed hardware, applications don’t have a shared look and feel, Windows applications I count on to make my living are not available or are a work in progress, and of course there is virtually no support or documentation. Maybe one day Linux will happen for me but not yet.
