I think your analogy is a good one. Good marketing on a inferior product in both cases. You can't pretend that they are actually the best available.
Again, who has used Windows, Mac OS X and Linux as a desktop environment for an extended period of time (say longer than 12 months). Unless you have, you have no grounds to make comment on this subject. All you have in marketing hype.
