Recently (well, I've been hearing it for a long time anyway) I've come across various comments by Mac users about how Windows is a piece of shit and XP is a ripoff Mac OSX. Well, I hate to tell you this but the plain answer I have for you people is that if Mac is such a simple and stable OS (based on stolen Unix code of course) then why isn't it the world dominant operating system that Windows is?

And then I hear about this webpage compatibility issue that developers are focusing on building sites that are only compatible with IE, don't work on Netscape or Safari. Well, I personally have never tested any of my work on Netscape, mainly because I don't use Netscape, and so don't 85% percent of the web's users. I can safely sacrifice access to the 2.5% Safari users, if all they can think is that Mac users are in some way superior and more chic then Windows users. And when Dori Smith from Brain Backup tells Shirley Kaiser not to use a Javascript (in use at the mega blog spot ALA) to instantly change font sizes on her blog because it's incompatible with Safari, I would tell her just one thing... please use IE, it's F-R-E-E!

Anyway, it all started when I observed Mac users bashing the recent launch of BuyMusic.com. They were exclaiming it to be a bad copy of the iTunes Music Store... Well, every new idea has to come from somewhere, just like it started from Napster, and today we have the much better KaZaA network or a more direct example, Apple might have create a PC GUI interface, but it was Microsoft who marketed to the whole world and be successful at it. So, my point is that BuyMusic.com might come with fixable security flaws or a laughable ad campaign or more restrictions than iTMS, but it is still accessible to alot more web users than the other one, has 100,000 more songs. And that's just a sample of things to come, but only for people using Windows.
