If Operating Systems Ran Airlines...

DOS Airlines

Passengers are handed maps, compasses, rulers, pencils, and an

airplane manual (shrink- wrapped) as they enter the plane. They have

to figure out how to get the plane to wherever they want to go. Some

succeed very well. Others crash, but they shouldn't have been messing

around with airplanes anyway.

Maclntosh Airlines

All the stewards, stewardesses, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket

agents look the same, act the same, and talk the same. Every time you

ask questions about details, you are told you don't need to know,

don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without you

having to know, so just shut up.

OS/2 Airlines

If you succeed in getting on board the plane and the plane succeeds

getting off the ground, you have a wonderful trip ...

Windows Airlines

The airport terminal is nice and colorful, with friendly stewards and

stewardesses, easy access to the plane, and an uneventful takeoff...

then the plane blows up without any warning whatsoever.

NT Airlines

Everyone marches out on the runway, says the password in unison, and

forms the outline of a plane. Then they all sit down and make a

whooshing sound like they're flying.

UNIX Airlines

Everyone brings one piece of the plane with them when they come to the

airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together

piece by piece, arguing constantly about what kind of plane they are

building.
