Why Linux is inferior to Windows and Macintosh

[NewsBot]

Head honcho of the Developer Division has a blog about Incubation projects.

Personally speaking, this is where Linux and Windows diverge. There is little to no innovation in Linux. One cannot afford to be as structured in an open source environment. Yes old ideas are used innovatively but there is no new stuff.

 

The thing that constantly amazes me is how 'Head Honchos' have the knack to put things in buckets. I hear this time and time again. When I encounter the corona_coder, creditcard etc I always find that this element of incubation*is never present for all their ever present GPL waffling.

 

I am however always careful not to write people off Prima Facie. If people 'harp on' about Macs surely there must be some intrinsic value in the product. Why is is that people always think that you're either Mac, Windows or Linux? Never can one use all three harmoniously?

 

Now unless I'm missing something, what are the innovative features that Linux brings to the table? For the recent Flurry of Windows 7 pandemonium here at '9, the debate was centred around design and implementation of features. We can almost always expect to be surprised (anticipate derision here) by each new*Windows OS, what is it that Linux has? Why is it so great?
