  • Depends on you define best or known for when it comes to cars. Sure a BMW is nice but a Lexus will last twice as long for a fifth the price and is good.

    And bread, for invention, depends on whether or not you count leavened and unleavened separately. In terms of best, French bread is definitely S tier though.



  • You see, but for a windows power user, Microsoft’s obstacles are minor. I can’t transition because I have my most used Universal Windows Tweaker or WinAero tweaker registry edits written down for every clean install. Microsoft Activation Scripts 1.8 allows me to use anything from Windows for Education to Pro for Workstations. I don’t find it inflexible, I bend it to my will without difficulty because it’s what was the standard and I learned inside and out. I haven’t transitioned to Linux because I can’t maintain the same ability without relearning a new OS.


  • I am a windows power user because Linux just plain doesn’t do what I expect it to.

    Call me an idiot or inexperienced, but trying to transition over and do everything I can on windows doesn’t happen. When I first tried Linux in middle school, I couldn’t manage to install a single program. Software that should work doesn’t, and I still sympathize with Linus Sebastian typing in “Yes, do as I say” when all he thought he was doing was installing Steam. I’d love to transition over my daily OS to Linux, but I’m already in so deep with a million custom tools for Windows and a decade of in-depth and occupational knowledge it would be a pain to start from scratch.

    I’m a grizzled Windows user and absolutely love it. However, every person who knows me is shocked when I pull out my iPhone and sing it’s praises. I mainly love the security, but there’s something else when it comes to experience:

    Optimization. In a time where Moore’s Law is dead and computer performance has largely stagnated, Apple still managed to forge ahead making their systems as high performing as possible. Rather than supporting every ancient floppy driver and COM file extension, Apple has a carefully designed and programmed ecosystem. So much so that my iPhone 6S received an update THIS JANUARY! Let alone how long it received actual feature updates. It’s such a breath of fresh air, like you aren’t a piece of garbage and so is what you bought from us.

    I really respect Apple’s approach to customer experience, they’re a whole other breed.
