What operating system do you use?

[HotelUser]

Stop trying to cause an argument. It's a proven fact Windows 7 is the best selling operating system of all time and I didn't post it to cause an argument. You really do annoy me when you do this. :rolleyes:

I love how you go on about IE8 like you are forced to use it if you use a Windows operating system, what a load of ****.

I'm not disputing the fact that it's sold more than other operating systems.

It's a proven fact that Apple is worth more than Microsoft and Google combined.

You're the one who brought the not so important statistics into the thread.

Pssh Matt, if Apple find out you're tarnishing their rep they'll sue you!!!1111

I know right! I haven't even said anything bad about Apple but HotelUser thinks I have.

It's also a proven fact that Apple is an an entirely different market and have far more agressive market strategies than either Google or Microsoft, with both of them doing a lot of charity and open source work (which Apple do next to nothing for... aside from WebKit possibly?)

His statistic makes more sense than company value. Windows 7 is an OS, this is an OS discussion hence Matt posting a widely accepted statistic about the world's best selling OS.
Apple is a company, it is the most valuable tech company on the planet. This is an OS discussion, hence you post a pointless fact because you have a bee in your proverbial bonnet because OS X isn't the World's Best Selling OS

No, it being "best selling" has absolutely no single particle of contribution towards how good the software is compared to OS X. Apple does Hardware and Software therefore they don't attempt to super market OS X to other platforms like Microsoft does. Do not confuse marketing with product quality. The best example to prove that just because something is popular doesn't mean it's best is Internet Explorer, now if you do claim that it became the most popular browser because it's the best you autolose the argument

You quoted me, yet nothing you posted has anyrelevanceto what I said?

By no means do Apple make shoddy products, I just think their business practices are shady, could do with being a bit more 'community spirited' and generally being a "nicer" company.

Just because more people own something it doesn't make it better.

Like da windows OS!!!!!!

I use a mix between ubuntu and windows 7. Love the feel/look of ubuntu and its ability to do pretty much everything I've thrown at it. But windows will always be useful especially since my ipod syncs with genius on windows!
