If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines

[David]

I just found this too funny.. =)

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 Airlines
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 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 NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.

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?"

Haha! Excellent Dave. I especially like the Windows Air one.

[Red Devil]

Haha! Yeah, the Windows one is especially true. I would call 10 minutes generous though...

[Specialized]

Simply put, awesome Dave. Funniest comparison of OS's I've yet to see.

the windows jokes are getting kind of old, I mean honestly xp is doing fine for me, once you get over the fact that it looks like microsoft designed the interface for a 5 year old

[u]edit:[/b]

yes I am a hypocrite, and I did just make fun of microsoft, but thats ALL besides the fact they steal our money, so gates can NOT give his money to his kids when he is dead and its all said and done.....

yeah I am bored, that was pretty funny though. I have even tried fedora 2, and I had it for like two days, but I couldn't get any p2p sharing program working, but everything else working, even my mp3 player, so I might go back to fedora in a year or so for my final change

but I am going on a rant

good joke!

If you can't run a Windows box smoothly for even a day, you probably don't want to use Linux.
