An OS, by itself, is useless without user level tools and applications. When considering Windows vs. Mac OS vs. Linux, you must consider what apps you intend to use with it.
I am a UNIX/Linux bigot. I also like MacOS. But, I use Windows in my ham shack. Windows is, by far, the most well supported platform for ham radio applications. Yes, I could run them in a virtual machine or an emulator in another OS, but why? Don't pick your OS first. Choose the apps you want first and see what the common denominator OS is among those applications. Chances are it will be Windows. Don't play religion with OSes. You will be doing yourself a BIG disservice. Be pragmatic. 73, Tony K4QE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
