![]() Hating aside, Windows being not open-source really hurts when you're trying to fix/debug something - you can tail the error logs until the cows come home, but unless you're a Microsoft developer, it'll probably be pretty opaque (OSX is sometimes bad about this too - ever have fun with KEXT bingo?) Really the only thing it has going for it would be "it's popular", so it's likely that someone else also had error 0x8BADF00D and knew how to fix it. Going back to Windows after OSX or Linux is pretty awful, honestly. ![]() It's trying to have the "sane defaults" of OSX with the configurability of Linux, but the architecture is all stupid and you get error codes in hexidecimal that say "an unknown error has occurred!". Windows - the "bloated swiss army knife". Fedora 16 is my current weapon of choice for work/dev. Linux (new-school) - trying to be like OSX with the "sane defaults just works in most cases" but also tweak-able as much or as little as you like. Stuff adheres to philosophical standards and POSIX. Linux (old-school) - made for users who care about the details and will take days or weeks to set up their system. OSX - supposed to be simple to use and the defaults are supposed to "just work" and make sense to most people (drag an "icon" to the "trash" to "uninstall" it made no sense to me) This can be useful if you encounter an app that is still able to draw above the Visor even with "Show on top of the Dock" enabled.Windows has always had more configuration than OSX.
