He brought this home from computer class:

If Operating Systems were Airlines

DOS AIR - All the passengers go out onto the runway, grab hold of the plane, push it until it gets in the air, hop on, jump off when it hits the ground again. They repeat this until they arrive at destination.

Mac Airways - The cashiers, flight attendants, and pilots all look the same, feel the same and act the same. When asked questions about the flight they they reply that you don't want to know, don't need to know, and would you please return to you seat and watch the movie.

Fly Windows NT - All the passengers carry their seats out onto the tarmac, placing the chairs in the outline of a plane. They all sit down, flap their arms and make jet sounds as if they flying.

MVS Airlines - The passengers all gather in the hanger, watching hundreds of technicians check the flight systems on this immense, luxury aircraft. This plane has at least 10 engines and seats over 1,000 passengers. All the passengers scramble aboard, as do the necessary complement of 200 technicians. The pilot takes his place up in the glass cockpit. He guns the engines, only to realise that the plane is too big to get through the hanger doors!

I am clueless when it comes to computers but this made me chuckle.
