Agada Urbanit (Hebrew: אגדה אורבנית) - English: Urban legend
The quality of an operation system is more a subject of religious debate than of technical merit. The Windows community is like the Catholic Church; it has the largest following, and its members a mostly laymen who do not participate much in religious debates. The community is organized on strong hierarchical lines.
The Unix community is like the mainstream Protestant Church; it has not as large a following as the Windows community, and its members define the system and run the community. Like the Protestant Church, there are many flavors of observance: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mach; the list is as long as list of protestant variants. Most are highly evangelical - a good Protestant trait - with Linux perhaps being the most fanatical.
The Macintosh community hangs somewhere in the lurch between Windows and Unix, the Catholic and the Protestants, a bit like the Anglican Church; they're Protestant acting like Catholics.
Plan 9 from Bell Labs is like the Quakers: distinguished by its stress to "Inner Light," noted for simplicity of life, in particular for plainness of speech, like the Quakers, Plan 9 does not proselytize.
