How Dell and System76’s Ubuntu Machines Stack Up to Their Mac Counterparts

,----[ Quote ]
| So is the idea that Ubuntu machines give more bang for the buck than Mac 
| machines a myth? It depends, but for the most part, no. The mini machines and 
| the low-end laptops were about the same price, especially when you add in the 
| $129 operating system. However, the Inspiron blew the iMac out of the water 
| while the Serval destroyed the MacBook Pro. Now, these are just tech specs.

Tim Bray provides a bridge between Sun and developers

,----[ Quote ]
| Looking further ahead, Bray predicts a move away from Microsoft operating
| systems. "The fact is that the vast majority of office desktops are using
| Windows, the third-best platform," he says. "You can argue about the relative
| merits of modern Linuxes like Ubuntu and the Mac, but they are clearly better
| than Windows in terms of robustness, cost, performance, and a whole bunch of
| other things. For the long term, can the mainstream of business continue to
| ignore the fact that there's a better alternative than what they're running?
| If that logjam breaks, that's going to be a real change."
