I came up with what I think is a good analogy for the "differences" between the
two.
A PC is a left hand drive car driving in North America…we know it, we grew up
with it, and it "feels" right.
A Mac is a right hand drive car driving in North America…It feels "different", but
once we get in and start to drive, we realize we're still driving on the same streets,
and turn the wheel left it goes left, step on the brake and it stops.
A Linux box is a right hand drive car driving in Briton…you know it's just a car
but you want to drive on the right (or wrong) side of the street.
People use their computers like they drive their cars. They turn it on and drive.
They don't know how to change the oil (or even check it if they do), they like
to buy things for it and make it "pretty". They get mad if they buy a Smart car
and can't go as fast as they want. They think it's a POS if it stops working, even
if it's because they left the parking brake on or forgot to put gas in it. And they
get mad if someone steels something from inside it, even if they left the door
open, windows rolled down, keys in the ignition, iPod on the seat, and wallet
on the dash after they parked in front of the strip bar @ 2am.
So, does this wound about right? I also have one comparing a Chevy, Ford and
a Toyota Hilux.
