    I trust pirate groups a million times more than Microsoft when it comes to suspicion about spyware. Pirate groups are in competition to release the highest quality software. Software publishers are in competition to make the most money, regardless of their customers' privacy.

    No, but the salesman wants to make a commission.. so what better product to sell? The 1500$+ apple system.

  • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -5/+174This is a comic. How the ***** do you mark a comic as inaccurate?!
  • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -11/+177That would make sense were it not for the fact that it would be obvious to spot it in action and the news would spread like wild fire.
  • shakin, on 10/12/2007, -24/+187"there is no pirate group out there willing to guarantee your security"

    And I suppose Microsoft will guarantee my security? No way. They have a terrible track record for security breaches in their software and for fixing those problems. I actually trust some of the big name pirate groups more than I trust Microsoft (although I don't intend to install Windows either way).
  • Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -32/+178That's what I love about the Mac OS and Apple, they chose to do one version for users and developers, and one version for server users.

    X. Will you be running a server?
    Y. No.
    X. Well then you'll need Mac OS X.

    A. Will you be running a server?
    B. Yes.
    A. Well then you'll need Mac OS X Server.

    Really very self explanatory. There's no need for all the ***** version that Windows gives you, with Mac OS X you get the quote "Ultimate Edition" everytime. And not only that, but all the features will work too. In the end those facts speak for themselves, you can spin this whatever way you want, but if you're not running a server and you're using a Mac, you have one choice Mac OS X, it doesn't get any easier.
  • SlackerCSB, on 10/12/2007, -27/+167A bet a dog chasing its tail makes you laugh pretty hard too.
  • kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -13/+141You can install osx on pc?
  • JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -173/+298"Dugg by someone using Windows Vista Pirate Bay version."

    The best thing about pirated copies of windows is that you can potentially get a free keylogger pre-wired into the CD image as an added bonus. Digg me down if you want, but there is no pirate group out there willing to guarantee your security. If you do pirate software, you should be doing it on a PC which has no internet/LAN connections whatsoever. If not, you're just opening yourself up to being part of a botnet or otherwise.

  • joelmole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+102"Marked inaccurate. They all come on the same CD."

    Your comment marked as inaccurate. They all come on the same *DVD*

    ....If you're going to be a pedantic nitpicker.

    Ever heard of checksums. If you show me how you can produce a modified ISO of Vista with the MSDN checksums I'll buy you a Vista Ultimate copy.

  • drgruney, on 10/12/2007, -4/+67@tonich03

    I didn't dig you down because your comment was "not right," I dugg it down because it was stupid.
  • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+56Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu 32-bit, Ubuntu-64bit, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xbuntu, or Ubuntu Christian Version?
  • diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+53I'll take all the Linux. How much?
  • 10scott10, on 10/12/2007, -10/+56dugg by someone running a key logger
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+57If you want to try Vista without installing it, try the following link: http://www.vistatestdrive.com/

    You are remotely connected to a computer running Vista and you can mess around with the features and get the feel of the OS. I think that you only get to try out Business but that's good enough for me. Give it a try (and use Internet Explorer).
  • Nodren, on 10/12/2007, -5/+48@tonich03:

    how about the fact you were dugg down because your comment made no sense... "dogs are O.K." what does that even mean? no one was saying otherwise.
  • sirhomer, on 10/12/2007, -9/+48@ To those saying Mac OS X is more expensive then Windows
    Windows Vista Ultimate costs more then a Mac Mini with Leopard installed in Europe.
  • kris33, on 10/12/2007, -11/+50Running OS X on pc is no problem today and all apps work perfect. Stable and fast as hell, atleast for me. It runs as great as on my MacBook.

  • nhassan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41yeh, but the serials change what you can install
  • gert2, on 10/12/2007, -7/+44Which version of Vista with Gate's signature?
  • Snaggy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37Aw Smartpants, ... we do appreciate that you like the comic, but please link to our html pages, rather than just the image.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36OMG, you don't have a wife.
  • noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -16/+48In a perfect world, you could buy a retail copy of OS X and install it on whatever you want... But that would just be wayyy too convenient.
  • sembetu, on 10/12/2007, -10/+36Dugg by someone running a Timex Sinclair 1000
  • DarthSupero, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30*sigh* Fanboys...
  • flag564, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30"'ll take all the Linux. How much?"

    How much you got?
  • SamsLembas, on 10/12/2007, -10/+33I hear you can without much of a problem. However, some apps won't work, and isn't the point of using a Mac that everything will work? Might as well just use Linux instead.
  • mikepictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22not really the point is it? It's a joke, not a news report.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28Trying out vista is what made me get my first Mac in over 20 years of PC ownerships. Thanks Microsoft for showing me the way.
  • michaelb1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24or a monkey washing a cat.
  • netnifty, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22You still have to choose which version you want, and therefore what box you want, so the cartoon is accurate.
  • jcp20, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25criticizing someone for using another operating system is retarded. to each their own.
  • waxdart, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22"I have used OS X. I am now running vista ultimate (32 bit). Vista blows OS X out of the water. Please, don't trash vista unless you have actually used it. and I am talking about RTM, not the ***** betas."

    I have used the Vista RTM. Extensively (doing contracting work for MSFT). I'm an OS X user at home. And if you think Vista is a better product... you're fooling yourself. It has some nice ideas built in, most of which are watered-down versions of what it _should_ have been, and most of the whiz-bang features are badly-implemented versions of OS X. Search is nice, but Flip 3D is a joke. Aero glass is purdy, but useless. And the gadgets? Like I want _more_ noise on my desktop? Would be nice to at least have the option of viewing them as an abstracted desktop layer.

  • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17It's like Rogers telling me to switch to Windows/IE6 to view my bill online, in PDF format. Surprisingly people think that advice like that will solve others' problems.

    (The kicker is that it worked on any browser on any OS that I use until some "upgrade" ... *****)
  • MackAttack87, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23Dugg by someone running XP with an OSX theme....................sigh
  • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17You missed Satanic Edition and Flubuntu.
