Linux is getting better each year, Android is getting better each year.

But MS is getting better each year too, like Apple.

The main difference is that MS and Apple improve he overall user experience while Linux and Android center themselves on geeks. Witch is great, for geeks, but not as good for other people.

On Linux I can easily record any sound-video a program plays-displays , I can't do it on windows or Mac because of DRM. It's great for me, normal people don't care.

People care about being able to easily classify their weeding photos using face recognition tech like iphoto does. Linux could do it in complex( and more powerful) ways that my mom can't use.

Sorry, you say MS is getting better? No. I would gladly go back to Windows XP over 7. The only thing I like about 7 is the taskbar, everything else just gets in the way or annoys me. Why MS feel like shuffling around everything in the control panel every release I will never understand.
