Windows and the Unix Brothers, Linux and Mac, are on a stroll, having a pleasant discussion about the prospects of HTML5, when they come across a boulder in the middle of the road. "I'll smash this boulder with my Smashomatic 3000!" shouts Windows, who pulls out the high-power tool from hammerspace. Right as he's about to smash the boulder though, he suffers a stroke, and goes into a coma.

 

"We need to get through to save Windows!" Mac shouts, picking up the Smashomatic. He stands there though, confused by the control system. "...Umm, I have no idea how to use this. Linux, any ideas?" Linux shrugs, and Mac tosses it aside. "No matter! I shall use this to drill a hole!" Reaching into the pocket of his skinny jeans, Mac pulls out a tiny dentist's drill. "It's not the same, but it's just as nice!" He slams the small tool into the rock, drilling rhythmically, albeit uselessly.

 

"We're wasting time!" Shouts Linux. "At this rate, Windows is going to die!" At that, he grabs the Smashomatic from where Mac set it, pulling a paperclip, some bubblegum and a toothpick out of his pocket. Mac stops drilling, staring quizzically. "What are you doing?" he asks. "Why are you sticking that junk to Windows' Smashomatic?" Linux cackles wildly, waving the tool in the air. "I'm not just sticking it to it! I'm transforming the Smashomatic into something so simple, you and I can use it!" Unfortunately though, it takes Linux a long time to rig the Smashomatic. By the time he finishes, Mac's managed to use his dental drill mixed with The Power Of Rock to chop down a tree so they can just walk past. to the hospital to save Windows, who's nearly dead by the time the tree is down.

 

So, yeah. Windows has the coolest toys, but succumbs to health problems. Mac is fit and a good artist, but he's also stupid and doesn't understand how Windows' gadgets work. Linux is a genius, but by the time he's halfway through things, you realize that in the time it's going to take him to get things perfect, you could've done a good enough job with Windows in spite of his health complications or Mac in spite of him being silly.

Linux: "Hold on while I construct a new program for moving boulders"

Mac: "Sure, I can move this boulder. There's an app for that. Of course, I'd never teach you how to move boulders yourself, you'll just have to get me to do it."

Windows: *walks around the boulder* "Who cares about moving it? let's play Touhou."
