var microsoft = Better performance;

var apple = Better performance;

if ( "microsoft = apple"){

alert("hard core gaming is with windows 8 because it has best performance + good looking design and html5 apps. apple sucks");

}

I'm glad Microsoft allows comments.... Apple doesn't... Apple doesn't like collaboration (or haters...)

lol, i'm glad I switched away from microsoft, they are expensive and you can do anything with linux :D

donating software??????? it doesn't cost them much to put software they already have onto a disc.

and if you really wanted office, i'd go with "openoffice(dot)org"

if you can't do something (computer-related) on one linux, you will be able to on another.

@NathanGNU If someone copyrights a software or recipe, someone else is allowed to figure out a way to achieve a similar goal. In other words, proprietary software licenses do not prevent the creation of software or software concepts, they only mean you can't take a specific application that is licensed under a proprietary license and share that without paying. Someone else can still make an open source clone of that software though.

@NathanGNU What do you consider a user-respecting license, and what makes a license unethical and disrespectful to it's users?

[dissforlife]

@NathanGNU Proprietary software isn't "unethical". There are many ways to abuse proprietary software and the concepts that come with it, but there isn't anything unethical about closed source, proprietary software.

Microsoft donates not money... but software... ok

Thats something that every business can get for free... its called Linux ;)

@NathanGNU You're confusing man! Here you say GNU gives you freedom, and there you say that you don't support Apple selling it's modified BSD?

MS is a corporation, what do you expect?

[nicknet18]

@NathanGNU Stop yapping about waht you don't know. I've been using these software for years now. They aren't "gratis!"

And I meant how Apple's OS kernel is taken from Free-BSD. They've written a glamorus shell on it and are selling it for high price. What do you have to say about that? That topic is more relevent to GNU software. MS is no way concerned with anything GNU.

@SuperGEORGE1993 Perhaps but pleaze, next time you try to do a dev' joke... do it correctly (affectation instead of comparaison, the ", ...)
