If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines

UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.

Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on ...

Mac Air
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.

Windows 95-XP Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

Windows Vista Air
You are not allowed to fly with our planes... however, that's lucky because the plane crash landed after a couple of minutes.

Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the Seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

People do these
but they always make one OS out to be hyper perfect, ruining any illusion of impartiality you had.

If you'd said "but some people will find that regardless of what they do, they can't install the seat, and get it to work, and if you complain to a steward, they just tell you that it's a known issue and might be resolved in the future" in the linux part

>>	Anonymous 04/28/09(Tue)11:27 No.4241728 what about BSD or Solaris airways??

>>	Anonymous 04/28/09(Tue)11:29 No.4241739 >>4241728 No one flies them.

BSD Air - is pretty much like Linux, except your seat is in more parts and there aren't flights to as many places.

Solaris Air- A lot like Linux and BSD air without the assembly, but you have to pay for it, it takes twice as long and only businessman ride it.

UNIX Airways = Never gets anywhere because of the small demographic of unsociable people.

Air DOS = It's called a hang glider, try one, it's fun as shit.

Mac Air = Air Italia + Orwellian 1984

Windows 95-XP Air = Wtf, no, more like this:
Windows-on-DOS to Windows ME = Take off usually problem free, will explode midair if some retard presses ANY button.

Windows 2000-Viata Air = Well, Windows Server IS used in a lot of aircraft problem free. As long as the pilot isn't a dumbass you'd get anywhere in the world.

Linux Air - ...Ya.

Windows XP Air.
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. Once you're airborne, every 30 seconds Russians in fighter aircraft will attempt to shoot you down. As a result, the plane has to fly with an armed convoy at all times, slowing the journey somewhat.

Posts as if everything but a single thing is done for you.
3 things and then everything else is done for you, Barebones, Background and basic drivers.
Everything else (decent media player, Flash, GOOD video drivers) suck to get too.
