I have plenty of Windows machines (each of the kids has one), and the wife is on a Macintosh while I'm on a dual boot Linux/Windows machine. I almost never boot to Windows, and only do so when I must use Microsoft Office (which, is the standard, like it or not - and - no - all the other office suites are NOT fully compatible when transferring docs back and forth to Windows users). In my experience, they all do the same thing. All have a desktop, menu systems, the same web browsers, the same major email clients, similar nntp clients, similar editors (with the key exception listed above), etc. They're all easy to use and hard to use. EASY: Windows - it set the standard for the graphical user interface Macintosh - it tried to be different (and screwed up a lot, but got a lot right at the same time) Linux - it simply copied those above HARD: Windows - it still crashes more than it should Macintosh - it's like being at the DMV - the rules only make sense to Mac users - they're incomprehensible to everyone else Linux - it's still a geek's favorite operating system because of power and flexibility - but it's still not yet your Mom's operating system

The Macintosh came first with a GUI (and mouse). MS Windows was an imitation. >Linux - it simply copied those above That may well be true. I'd have more fun with Linux if I could get it to boot the command line and let me play with all those pipes and things. >HARD: >Windows - it still crashes more than it should >Macintosh - it's like being at the DMV - the rules only make sense to Mac >users - they're incomprehensible to everyone else >Linux - it's still a geek's favorite operating system because of power >and flexibility - but it's still not yet your Mom's operating system And the software I use every day won't run on it, so it's for playing with when I have time on my hands. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk

Actually, that's exactly what happened.

Speaking as likely the only person on this 'froup who has actually *used* a Xerox Star (and is typing this on a MacBook), I think I can reasonably say that this is nonsense.

Nope. The systems were not similar. Xerox hadn't designed many of the user interface elements that are needed for a desktop computing experience. Not a single line of code was taken from Xerox - Apple designed all of the missing pieces and wrote Mac OS from scratch. >> Apple also improved on what Xerox had before the Mac was released. > > Speaking as likely the only person on this 'froup who has actually *used* > a Xerox Star I've used one. > (and is typing this on a MacBook), I think I can reasonably > say that this is nonsense. Nope, he's right. Apple *did* improve on what they saw at Xerox, which was completely missing many of the interface elements needed to function as a desktop operating system, because Xerox was only interested in documents for printing. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I've written applications for them and provided technical support for a Xerox Tech Pubs department who used them to write all their documentation. TBH, there's very little functionally that's improved since. What has improved beyond recognition is the performance. It took ~20 minutes to reboot a Star.
