Ok, is it just me, or has Microsoft just given up? I was reading one of my PC magazines, and about 8% of the magazine devoted to Macintosh and Linux. Normally PC magazine would be almost completely devoted to Windows based computers. (With the occasional Linux blurb thrown in) I was reading in the magazine, how Mac does this and Linux does that. If I wanted to find out what Mac does, I would have subscribed to Mac Magazine. Are the Windows magazines totally out of good stuff, so that there’s nothing better to put in there than “How to setup a Linux computer”?
Now, for those who don’t know, PC doesn’t mean “Politically Correct”, it means Personal Computer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but almost nothing Microsoft does is for personal use anymore. They have almost totally focused in on the business side, and forgot me, the little dude. Does Microsoft’s new operating system do so little, that an alternative is needed? I am starting to lean that way. I just wonder if people are so fed up with the giant software company that they would be willing to switch to Linux or Mac. I have been using Windows Vista for about 6 months, and I don’t like it much. It is slow, it’s no less susceptible to viruses and spyware than XP was, so here’s the question, what does Microsoft offer to me? Well, on the business side they are giving out all kinds of free software and help. For all the gamers out there, Windows is still the most popular OS (operating system) for gaming. However, for day to day use, Why Windows? I’m not sure I can answer that anymore.
