could anyone help, please? MAC advantages and disadvantages why NOT using DOS? Thanks

advantages -unix based, more stable than, secure windows, cool looking hardware. disadvantges -freebsd based, less stable than linux, uncompatible hardware, worst interface out there, expensive. windows advantages - is used by lot's of people. disadvantages -crashes, insecure, buggy, expensive. linux advantages - very fast, the good parts of unix design, stable, many choices for a desktop including GNOME about the best interface in the world, can run on both cheap pc hardware and cool looking mac hardware, free. linux disadvantges -still has a few security flaws, a common misconception that linux is "hard" to use

....as to MS-DOS and compatibles, fairly crash proof, easy to switch off if it locks up, take seconds not minutes to boot, do not need $500 PC's. Downside is lack of compatibility to modern hardware: http://83.67.55.228/

can I have a list of advantages & disadvantages, please? thanks for the reply but, still not clear

ok simple form windows - no advantages mac - few advantages linux - lots of advantages
