Sharp Zaurus Scores Low

[arcticandyb]

According to a reader survey done by a top PC magazine, Sharp's handheld was pretty unappreciated.  The only plusses from this were that AmigaAnywhere was not mentioned, the report citing that the handheld was "Linux-fueled", and the only words used to describe the handheld was "handheld that most vexed users".

The poll was done to analyze technical service and reliability of product, with all the usual suspects present (Gateway, Dell, IBM, etc).

The categories included Laptops, Desktops, Cameras and Handhelds - which is of course where the Zaurus comes in.

I forgot to mention few more of the good bits...

a/The users polled said MS sucked at both handhelds and internet service..
b/and this should please Red.. AOL sucked too.

So anyone out there still think that MS can rule the roost for all time.. not me that's for sure.. because as Red said.. IBM were a similar company to MS in the 70s.. a large, bloated, underhanded and dirty corporation.. and now their position in the home market is pretty much dead.

In fact it's sort of ironic that IBM's other sources of income are the reason they are still a top company.. why?  because it was an IBM CEO that said that desktop PCs were irrelevant and would never catch on.. or words to that effect.  And guess what.. as far as IBM are concerned desktops are pretty much irrelevant.. :-)

So MS are finally being dissed by PC owners as well as the usual alternative OS and Network Administrator sources.. more of this please.. :-)  

PS.. wouldn't it be cool if sometime in the future people asked the following..

a/Why do you call those things that popup Windows dad?
b/Why do you call computers IBM PC compatibles dad?
c/I really can't stand this Amigorola monopoly of the PC market.. why can't one of the alternative OSs or processors make it any more?
