| Linux | Windows | Macintosh |
| UI | Text all the way. | Mostly icon-based, witht eh powerful Command Prompt. | Text? Oh, right. Words from a keyboard. |
| Control | 100% control. My computer does EXACTLY what I want it to. | I've got wonderful control. I see everything it's running, and -- crap, it crashed. | Um… I run programs. |
| Programming | What do you want the program to do? OK, here it is, with 20 bonus features. | I got stuff like VB. Simple, but still considerable. | What? MAKING programs? I thought they grew them on farms in Venezuela! |
| Images | …I can make a stick guy. | MS Paint and crappy Photoshop rip-offs. | Unlimited ability. |
| Movies | I write what the movie companies use to make the movies. | I watch them. FOR FREE! | I'll make whatever movie you want. |
| Games | Write them from scratch in my free time. | GAMING FOREVER! | We've got games! All 5 of them! |
| Input | Mice are for wimps. Unless you mean the live kind. | The mouse and keyboard create a synergy necessary to achieve Zen Oneness. | I mailed my keyboard to the starving children in Pakistan. I figure they could use it more than me. |
I apologize to those who quite like each system. I use Windows, and love it, but I know little about the other systems. I'm mostly just having fun with this.
