For the novice, it tends to be “difficult” to use. GNU/Linux, on the other hand, seems to meet the things that WinNT doesn’t. Well, it falls short out of the box, and with the things you can do with it for free. As far as satisfying the tech-savvy user, it falls woefully short. I attribute it more to ubiquity, but that’s just me. With that established, the question then, is how well does each accomodate both the technically-savvy and the novice? WinNT (and by that, I mean all its stepchildren) gets kudos for its ease of use. They’re not for embedded applications, nor are they the best choice for big iron. Each will function sufficiently as a workstation OS or a server OS. OSX, WinNT, OS/2, GNU/Linux (to an extent), and GNU/Hurd (when it’s released) aim for dual competence. I think, in the realm of operating systems, there has to be a target audience.
