Okezone pretends a Microsoft ad is an article


Indonesian text behind the link. This is good for a laugh. 8 reasons for moving to PC by Okezone.

Some gems:

"Sembilan dari sepuluh komputer menggunakan sistem operasi Windows atau lainnya"
"Nine out of ten computers use Windows or other operating system"
Great, what does the other one run on, peanuts?

"Windows menawarkan lebih banyak jenis hiburan melalui beragam fitur yang dimilikinya dan bisa langsung dinikmati, sementara Mac tidak. "
"Windows offers more types of entertainment through its many features that can be immediately enjoyed while Mac does not."
You mean like Minesweeper and Solitaire?

"Beberapa situs hanya bisa diakses dengan sempurna melalui browser Internet Explorer yang ada pada Windows. Beberapa situs yang ada di internet membutuhkan aplikasi tambahan untuk bisa memunculkannya. Namun dengan Windows, hal tersebut tidak dibutuhkan"
"Some sites can only be accessed perfectly using Internet Explorer browser in Windows. Some sites on the Internet require add-ons to display them. But with Windows, it's not necessary."
So when you run Windows you don't need to install a PDF plugin, update your Flash plugin, install a QuickTime add-on, install a DivX or XviD plugin and all the other plugins on your browser?


[update] I've just discovered that that piece from Okezone was an incomplete and unattributed rip off of this piece by HarryMcCracken who also posted the opposite view, "Eight reasons why your next computer should be a Mac."

yes ... and 'sembilan dari sepuluh komputer berbasis windows' paling mungkin terkena virus ... :-O
'sembilan dari sepuluh komputer berbasis windows' paling biasa-biasa saja simplicity to use mau pun user experience nya. (if not we shall say 'complicated' according to today's UX standard) :-P
'sembilan dari sepuluh komputer berbasis windows' tampilan casing, mau pun kualitasnya & daya tahan casing/layar/komputer secara keseluruhannya sangat biasa biasa saja. :-(

what's so special about computer that is based on windows these days? almost nothing. while in the '80s windows based computers indeed have been great, lack of innovation the past few years makes it totally not elegant nor excellent, nor superb operating system to have, these days.

my two cents. (based on real true experiences using windows system throughout the years, and real true experiences using mac based system the past few years also) :-)
