Siemens = a company producing a business product. Windows = an operating system that excels in a business environment.
Any questions?
I may use both platforms, but Windows has always been way ahead of the game when it comes to any business implementation.
Businesses do not want to retool their office equipment everytime a new computer comes out. There's a reason why legacy ports exist, so me, joe sixpack or corporation x don't have to upgrade if we don't want to at this point. Apple tends to throw off ports on their machines at random. The first rev macbook pro (the original conroe processors) didn't even have firewire 800. I don't know about you but shouldn't there be some consistency here? Powerbooks G4 Al had Firewire 800 --> then missing in the next rev?. I know I know they've solved the problem now, but there is clearly a reason why most corporations will never switch to an all apple lineup.
Windows may not be perfect, but when you want to maintain compatibility, you give up some stability and that's basically just what Windows is. Now we always get the random linux guy in here who says linux is ready for primetime, so I guess I'll get this out of the way.
Linux is great for servers, has rock solid stability, is supported by millions of people around the globe but lacks in the UI department. There are too many people in the linux community who want to preserve the archaic way of gpedit xconf.org (to get dual monitors working or another resolution) or randomly pasting commands to get other things working. I've talked to many linux zealots and the one fundamental flaw that exists in their arguments is just because they can open up the terminal and can get stuff working, well that grandma should and can do that too.
People want simplicity, but don't want to be locked down to one company that controls the hardware and pricing
People want flexibility, but don't want to be confused and be told to RTFM or look up the answer on a forum.
Windows isn't the best operating system, but it lands between two extremes in the computing world.
