The Phrygian Cap

Where did that come from? Did you make it?

So you're saying that my mom, who uses her ubuntu laptop for email/browsing/other misc tasks, should not be using *any* computers at all?

Because you know, there are people who user a computer just because they need to, and use the thing that works the best.

You spelled 'buy' wrong, it almost looks like you meant to say 'try'. Naturally since OSX both doesn't have LiveCDs and doesn't support normal hardware worth crap, you may want to fix that.

Also, the way you want to get support is the WRONG way to start an OS flowchart. It's actually a lot simpler than this:
Do you want a good OS? No > Use Windows Yes > next
Do you need Adobe apps? No > Use Ubuntu Yes > next
Can OSX run on your system? Yes > install it No > Buy a mac

I do not like the first question and its answers. In my opinion, it should not be about whether you are more comfortable with community support or with commercial support, or whether you like "stepping out of the mainstream" better than being part of the mainstream. If I had not known where the questions were going, I would have ended up as a Windows or Macintosh user. In many respects, I would prefer being part of the mainstream. It is just coincidental that the mainstream uses an OS that is unnecessarily regressive.

How about a question about freedom/lock-in, open vs. closed data formats, transparency, ...? Perhaps even "Do you know about Firefox or OpenOffice?" -> "If yes, why use Windows?"

I didnt create this. I found it through a friends twitter. Will try to find the source tomorrow.

Where is the question that says "Do you want to be able to use almost any hardware with your OS? Yes:use Windows, No:use .

P.S. I use Ubuntu exclusively on a personal basis and use Linux wherever I can at work. I've never called Microsoft for support. I know very few people who have.

Yes. Yes it is.

If you're going to reduce life to two emotive options then why not just replace the first question with "Do you hate freedom"?

This is a really silly flowchart.
