IF AIRLINES WERE LIKE OPERATING SYSTEMS...

UNIX Airways

Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the
airport.    They all go out on the runway and put the plane together
piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are
supposed to be building.   

Air DOS

Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and
let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push
again, jump on again, and so on ...   

Mac Airlines

All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look
and act exactly the same. Every time you ask detailed questions, you
are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to
know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to
know, so just shut up.   

Windows Air

The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy
baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off.    After about 10
minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.   

Windows NT Air

Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and
takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it
explodes.   

Linux Air

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start
their own airline.    They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave
the runways themselves.    They charge a small fee to cover the cost of
printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket
yourself.   

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench
and a copy of SEAT-HOWTO.TXT. Once installed, the fully adjustable seat
is very comfortable. The plane leaves and arrives on time without a
single problem and the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell
customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can
say is, "You had to do *what* with the seat?"
