During a shoot-the-bull session in the IT department here with the Mac, PC, and Linux techs, the following (admittedly sexist) observations were made:

Mac OS X is like a porn star, sexy, sassy, and willing to show off, and usually a lot more interesting than they originally appear to be.

Vista is like a she-male porn star, sexy, sassy, willing to show off, but not quite what it appears to be and with a few surprises.

And Linux is that geeky, nerdy smart girl or guy that turns out to be a complete wear-you-out freak in the bedroom.

When I posted these observations on my LJ, the following additions were made:

Win9x is an oldster fetish porn star that has few skills and has to take frequent naps. (aeddie)

MAC Classic OS (6.X-7.X) is the sexy B&W era porn star.

BeOS is the sexy, edgy, 'alternative' (Betty Page-esqe) porn star who died tragically.

DOS is the "past prime" porn star who remains viable by doing DVDA.

Embedded Linux is a midget freak porn star. (all from ismarc)

AmigaOS: Once thought to be an up-and-coming (sic) porn star, [s]he's gone underground to do kinkier stuff with his/her interesting toys. A small following, but fiercely loyal.

I was about to ask that.

And what about Win2k?

Who is also narcoleptic and passes out whenever you try to use both hands. ;P

Those are the undead BDSM masters.

AIX! Ickkk, pooooey!!

That's the one you find on buried European websites (the ones with long, indecipherable URLs of seemingly random characters) who does the sort of things you trick your friends into watching.
