BSOD at the Prado
The tube tunnels are full of posters showing people who apparently helped design Windows 7. Which is probably why stories like this one appear from time to time. If you let members of the public design your operating system, it probably would be better than Windows, where even the version number is a hack. There are many serious technical design issues, which impact security, reliability and performance. But it’s still the number 1 operating system.
Contrast that with Linux. If you visit this link you can browse all the bugs that have been logged in the Linux kernel (the bit at the heart of the system that everything else relies on to work) and see when / where they will get fixed. It’s transparent, and reflects a piece of software that is properly engineered and well structured. Critical bugs get fixed right away, and it’s miles better structured than its proprietary rival.
And the one you pay money for is the bad one, not the good one. Which probably explains this page at Google image search.
