No the stereotypes don't work for any of the OS'es. One thing MS got
right was a pretty useful interface (I fear for Vista, AeroGlass is not
going to make locating that one file in thousands any easier). Sometimes
little things that I notice when working on Linux, Explorer when you
expand a tree the window scrolls to display the revealed child nodes
where Konqueror doesn't. We have a new commercial series running in the
states where they have a dweeb to be a Bill G. PC and a young 5 o'clock
be-shadowed MAC with the message that nothing creative can be
accomplished on a PC...
This relates to my experience with a MAC
