MacOS: The Electric Razor
MacOS is an electric razor. You just plug it in, turn it on and shave.
Windows: The Safety Razor/Disposable Razor
Windows is a safety or disposable razor. To get a good shave, shaving foam and aftershave is a must. You can get by without shaving foam and aftershave but you run the risk of nicking yourself. You also need to change blades when they wear out.
Linux: The Straight Razor
Linux is a straight razor. You better know what you are doing or you're just going to cut your throat wide open.

Any analogy for Unix?
ReplyDeleteUnix, like Linux, is also a straight razor. Except that it is wielded by a barber.
ReplyDeleteBy that analogy, WindowsME is shaving by applying lighter fluid to your face and then applying a match. It is a bad idea, it will hurt terribly and it will all end in flames.
ReplyDelete@Mechamorph: Ah, I forgot about Windows Mistake Edition. It would be a beautiful disaster. Looks pretty, but still a disaster.
