The word "better" is just to broad and vague. It's not falsifiable or quantifiable in any way. You can't wave a Better-o-meter over a computer and get a Betterness® reading to use as a comparison.What I said was, there are real and often quantifiable differences between computer operating systems. These often constitute advantages for one OS over another. You can't say "My OS has fewer viruses, so it's Better®" or "My OS costs less, so it's Better®" But if you're worried about security, you might choose the former; if you're under a budget, you might choose the latter. Not because of some emotional attachment, or some all-encompassing standard of what's Better, but because the facts (and your judgement) led you to that decision.</blockquote>
