apple desu, history and osx is the best consumer operating system around.
Caleb Hill
None preferred. Whatever company benefits me the most with what I need, while inconveniencing me the least.
Fuck off.

They were planning to be mainly software and services company but middle managements screwed it because they can't let go larger sales comission from SPARC server even though the software can run as well if not better in x64.

Oracle fucked up all of Sun’s IP. Fujitsu is left to maintain SPARC.
Charles Evans
>Fujitsu is left to maintain SPARC
Fujitsu is going to release only one more SPARC chip, though.
It's amazing how shitty Oracle is, though.
Gavin Cook
IBM for their important research contributions to early computing.
Ayden White
>even though the software can run as well if not better in x64
How about the stupidly high levels of reliability SPARC has? All the traps to avoid system hangs, RED condition and all that? Afaik x64 doesn't have any of that even to this day.
Leo Smith
That's very niche market, limited to critical systems in large companies. Even then fault tolerance in software is good enough for most needs.

No Vaio? Trash list.
Asher Richardson
Honestly, at this point, it's looking to be GPD, just because they're the best players in a tiny niche (modern UMPCs) that I really like. Outside of that, I just use whatever suits my needs and budget best.
Zachary Cooper
none of these are computer companies except IBM fuck off

For me, it's Mellanox. Their name is pleasant and they make some damn good cards
Julian Mitchell
Matthew Turner
>Mellanox outsourced some of its engineering to the West Bank. Rather than setting up offshore engineering centers in the Far East or Eastern Europe, Mellanox hired Palestinian engineers from Ramallah through a Palestinian outsourcing firm. In 2018, Waldman told a Tel Aviv conference hosted by Globes magazine that over 100 Palestinians are working on Mellanox projects.
>Waldman had previously talked about Mellanox's plans to build a research and development center in Ramallah, even though it is more expensive than outsourcing to Eastern Europe.
Gabriel Wright
IBM for basically inventing modern computing
