a look at Operating Systems

Billy: Hey dad, whats an operating system supposed to do?

Dad: Well Billy, an operating system is supposed to provide an environment where many different kinds of software can run well.

Billy: But Linux, OSX, and Windows 7 do that well! How do I decide?

Dad: Well Billy, you have to now assess what kind of software you're going to be using. Which OS looks the most appropriate now?

Billy: Well, OSX is good for graphic design, but nearly all of its programs also run on Windows 7 or have comparable software also for Windows 7. Linux has a lot of great software, but just can't really compete really with the huge libraries of software for Macs and Windows.

But in terms of number of software available, Windows 7 seems to have the most. It also runs new and upcoming games, and also runs classic PC games while XP is left in the dust without DX10.

Dad: There you have it son, Windows 7, which is an operating system, runs FUCKING EVERYTHING!!!!

SO STOP BITCHING UNTIL THE OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS CAN COMPETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention OS's are made with programming you stupid eedjit.

You'll have to sort it out yourself. Try Google it works wonders. GNite.

I like how he made it a conversation between "Billy and dad". It shows the intelligence level of typical Americans.

No offense to the intelligent Americans.

Actually, all four of us were pretty offended.

Additionally, there is nothing wrong with the dialogue format for presenting arguments.  E.g. Plato used it extensively.

Meh. Neither Windows nor Mac are free. Until they are free, I'm staying with Fedora.
