Linux
The table says: "open source". I understand the whole open source principle, but in this table we should elaborate why this is an advantage. To me open source means either:
- I can customise it if I need (which leads to the disavantage to DOS that is it a complex thing to do)
- There is a community that keeps making it better (which leads to the disadvantage in Windows that it needs patches)
- Free (does not apply to all open source software) but "free" is already mentioned.
So where does exactly lie the benefit in the "open source" statement? Felsir 02:39, 3 April 2006 (EDT)
MacOS is not strictly a "PC Operating System"
Unless we want to change this topic to "Platform Comparison" or just "Operating System Comparison", I suggest this be deleted.
