That whole little post was more aimed at the preception of each, I am not informed enough about the three to make a "truthful" analogy

I for one have read more post about Apple hardware going south, Windows software going north, and the go anyway you can of Linux. So that is what I used for my post

Really?

Even your boss would give you some at work, but it would endlessly attract horse flies, lice, dung beetles, and army ants. So you would have to buy lots of bug repellants, and roach motels. And then after about two or so years just when you got used to your drink they would change it and you would have to buy a new mug that could hold the new drink and you hear from some people that the new drink plant had an infestation of all kinds of incests and some may be in your drink.

Apple would be a really cheap drink that would taste exactly like what you wanted at that moment and would almost never go bad. It would have bug repellants already in the mix and the ads for this drink are just to funny but to buy this drink you would have to buy a really cool but very expensive and very fragile mug and when it broke it would cost almost as much as a new mug it to get it fixed.

And Linux would be ....Kool-Aid

Works for me! 5 pts for pelokwin.

A tree is growing in a small park, in the middle of a town and having grown steadily for several years, is now totally covered with delicious, ripe fruit that looks, tastes and smells sublime ....

that's Apple.

There's a second tree which is now in the shade of the first tree and is also fully laden with ripe fruit, except insects have lain eggs in the fruit and while the fruit is perfectly delicious, there's a certain "yuck" factor ...

that's Windows.

Just behind the first and second trees is a third tree and it too has grown steadily with the passing years. It doesn't get as much sun as the first tree but gets more than the second and is a bit of a secret with the more canny locals, as it's partially hidden by the first two trees. Locals have for years dined on the strange but delicious fruit it bears, but the secret will be revealed one day ....

that's Linux.

I like this one too. I abandoned the mug analogy but I like the trees and the form of the prose. 4 pts.
