Easy way to tell Linux apart from Microsoft and Apple!

[ajamison]

It is often asked of me to describe what the difference is in buisness models for Apple, MS and Linux in general and I have devised this little tid bit here to make it easier to understand

Microsoft (Corporation)- The Empire
Bill Gates- Darth Sidious
Microsoft (Employees)- Storm Troopers
The masses (those not aware of other OSes)- The Republic under the control of Darth Sidious

Apple- Ewoks
Linux(OS/users)- The Resistance in opposition to the Empire
Linus Torvalds- Luke Skywalker
Richard Stallman- Yoda
That Reiser Guy- Obi-Wan

Cool comparison!

Who would represent the killed Jedis and representatives of the old Republic? Old good UNIX, OS/2?

Obi-Wan a murderer? How did that association come to your mind?

Obi Wan killed Darth Maul, didn't he?

Thanks.

Yes, but his wife wasn't a mass murderer and a Microsoft executive, IE Commander.

Other than that, nice.
