<p>Had another one of those Windows users telling me that I should use Windows because over 90% of the world does.</p>
<p>That is a crap argument, if we all held to that we would still think the world was flat.</p>
<p>Just because lots of people use something in no way describes it as being &#8216;the best&#8217;.</p>
<p>Just for the record I don&#8217;t think the mac is &#8216;the best&#8217; either, it&#8217;s just a little fraction &#8216;better&#8217;, although that lead is in some ways diminished by Windows 7 which I will say, I actually like.</p>
<p>I would never use it seriously due to all the malware and just heavy, heavy anti-virus crap that sits on it like lead weights on it&#8217;s legs&#8230;but I like it more than I did XP or Vista.</p>
<p>I personally feel that probably Linux is the future, where we are not forced to do things by big evil companies like Microsoft and Apple, they are both as bad as each other for that. I am sick of being told by Apple that I haven&#8217;t listened to podcasts and it is going to stop updating them, just because I don&#8217;t use an Apple iPod at present to listen to them. Much in a similar way to the fact I could not sync many Windows mobile phones to a Mac or Linux machine (without the purchase of yet more crap) because they aren&#8217;t running Windows.</p>
<p>I want choice and the freedom to choose. (US Corporations does, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness ring a bell?)</p>
<p>I think Linux offers that and I am slowly beginning to break the bonds as much as I can to steer away from the Microsofts and the Apples of this world.</p>
<p>I still love my Apple and at present will stick with them, though that may change, and they need to be aware of that, so they keep on top of their game and shaft us all a little less.</p>
