The OS is dead.Submitted by jasonmcmunn on Tue, 11/11/2008 - 23:50The operating system is dead. That's right, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, even Windows. They just don't matter anymore. XBox 360, Nintendo, PS 3, none of them matter anymore. Desktop and Server, they are all the same. The web is the great equalizer. You think I'm crazy? Where do your applications run? Facebook? MySpace, Email? amazon.com? Do you even know? Most of the readers here probably do, but the point is you just don't care. Fallout 3 (bad ass!) came out recently... I couldn't decide which platform to get it on. The deciding factor was that my XBox was dead, and off to MS for repair. So I got it on PS3.
