It will come as no surprise that Bill Gates’ children are not allowed to own Apple products, probably through fear of their children realising how crap their fathers products are though they put it down to not wanting to encourage the competition.
Windows operating systems still dominate the desktop market share with about 90%, Apple is in second with nearly 7% and Linux in third with 1.25%.
Apple wins the tablet and mobile ratings with 41% and Unix winning the Server ratings with 60%.
Disadvantages
Windows: Unreliable/unsecured
Apple: Bloody expensive
Linux: Still struggles with MS games
Advantages
Windows: Everyone’s using it, compatibility
Apple: Looks good, popular with media & design people
Linux: Free, reliable & consistent
ACA The Underground in 2007 was made using Linux SuSe (free edition) to produce the printed version, these days with the wordpress online version we’re using Linux Ubuntu.
Linux is free, the software is free, the tech support is free, specialists and hobbyists work together to make the systems stay free.
A kind of by the people, for the people approach.
