       | To me it means "userable" not "the best for all applications"

       | In 1995 it was already better than the alternatives, for my
       | purposes. Very geeky, very personal.
       | 
       | I have extensive experience with Mac OS (whatever it is called
       | this year) and windows.
       | 
       | For me Mac OS V. Gnome, of even Xface, it is a matter of taste.
       | My taste is Linux
       | 
       | Windows is still a mess, and keeps coming up with new mess as
       | fast as it cleans up old mess
