In this article, we'll compare the capabilities of Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows XP and Linux. Would-be flamers, please note: yes, I am aware that you can add third-party software or hardware to almost any system to expand its capabilities. To be fair, we are primarily considering "vendor-supplied" capabilities, although we'll also note, where applicable, some freely downloadable utilities that can address or augment built-in capabilities. Any list of downloadable third-party add-ons is, of course, necessarily incomplete and is intended only as a guide to further exploration.

This article has been updated several times since its introduction, and will continue to be revised and improved as operating system features are revised and enhanced. In its first incarnation, we compared the original releases of Mac OS X and Windows XP. These versions are now considered obsolete, and this edition concerns itself only with the most current releases of each system. As such, this article will be updated from time to time. Your contributions and corrections are encouraged, to help make this the most comprehensive and accurate feature comparison available.
