Hello all. I have recieved a few e-mails asking about some ommissions. So here goes. The first one was about Automation being a requirement for a perfect OS. I didn't include it because, well, I never use any. There was a note in the definitions that those I included were the MINIMUMS. If you feel there should be more than the ones I include you fall into the category of needing an OS that doesn't yet exist. Sorry if this offends anyone. If I am wrong please correct me. I'm NOT claiming to be perfect(I wouldn't have an injured eye if that were the case).
The next few were people asking why OSX (MAC OS) wasn't included. Two reasons. One, I have absolutlely no experiences with MacOS in any form. Two, Since you need to buy a Mac to get and use MacOS, I won't have any experience with it. I believe that the majority of readers here build there own systems and as such are NOT going to be running OSX or any flavor of it. As stated above, if I am wrong please correct me.
For anyone else who happens to read this befor they send me an e-mail, I'd like to make a point about the article. It is incomplete as I don't have access to or knowledge of every OS out there. I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about something I have no clue about. The point of the article was to stress that rather than asking if (insert OS here) is better than (insert OS here) we need to be asking if (insert OS here) is good enough for our typical usage. If the answer to that question is no then you need to look onward and outward.
NO OS WILL EVER BE PERFECT. To believe that it will is the height of delusion. There are simply to many variables in the human equation for it to ever happen. There well may be an OS that will fit the bill very well for one individual, but not for another and this will always be the case.
