This is the 1st Revision of my Windows/Linux/OS X comparison, in the form of a PDF.
I hear a lot of generalized arguments used by people who haven't used Linux or OS X about how Windows is "just the best, just look at the numbers," and Mac users pretending that Linux is just a free rip off of OS X (which isn't a winning argument anyway, since most consumers think OS X is pretty awesome XD).
I'm putting this document together to have a clearer comparison of these Operating Systems, side by side.
If you have any ideas for sections I should add, revise, or if you have any problems with how I stated a certain section, please tell me what you think! I want to have a consistent flow and concise statements to make this easily readable by any computer user.
I'm posting this here first since Linux users seem more open to using multiple Operating Systems- in most cases, Linux wasn't their first OS.
I expect you to be open minded and realistic in your comments, and not to bring Microsoft/Apple/FOSS-lover hate into the argument, unless it has real relevance to the issues at hand (like Microsoft's initial business policies). I don't want this to be seen as "some Linux user's attempt to get back at MS and Apple." Honesty is the best policy, and I think we need to be honest with ourselves if we want to be respected as a community.
