I want another OS that works like Windoze but is better than Windoze.
I wish Mozilla would develop one. Their products are already consumer
friendly etc. Imagine a FFOS. I would imagine M$ poor customer
support and glitchy software would warp forward. I'd imagine it would
become superior. Because that's what a serious competitive market
does to companies that want to compete and win.
Ummm... There already is... www.apple.com No virus's
Not quite true but quickly fixed:

, no spyware, no adware, the stability of unix at the core
I've heard good and bad about the stability of macs, especially since
the move to intel chipsets.
, and the GUI of an easy to use interface. They also have great
customer service both on the phone, and in person... I've dealt with
both.
I think the reason OSX does well is because apple have complete control
over the hardware, I can't remember who said it first but the fact is if
microsoft built a microsoft computer specifically for running windows it
would probably be at least as good as if not better than a mac. Macs
aren't for people on a budget. A PC that is made up of components from
umpteen different manufacturers can't really compete when it comes to
the overal experience. Plus what's easier to support, a relatively small
amount of Mac+OSX (which is a very well defined product) or the vast
majority of PC users running Windows on god knows what?
Ubuntu is coming along nicely, good for all kinds of development at the
very least. It also has the stability of unix.
