If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines
UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when
they come to the airport.
They all go out on the runway and put the plane
together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they
are
supposed to be building.
Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then
they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again.
Then
they push again, jump on again, and so on ...
Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and
act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you
are
gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know,
and
everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so
just
shut up.
Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy
baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10
minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.
Windows NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and
takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it
explodes.
Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their
own
airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways
themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the
ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When
you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a
copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully
adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plan leaves and arrives on time
without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to
tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they
can say is, "You had to do
what with the seat?"
