Mac o PC? questione di religione

Leggevo un estartto dalla bustina di Minerva di Eco sull'eterna battaglia fra mac e pc:

"The fact is that the world is divided between users of the
Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am
firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is
Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counter-reformist and has been
influenced by the 'ratio studiorum' of the Jesuits. It is cheerful,
friendly, conciliatory, it tells the faithful how they must proceed
step by step to reach--if not the Kingdom of Heaven--the moment in
which their document is printed. It is catechistic: the essence of
revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons.
Everyone has a right to salvation.

"DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free
interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions,
imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the
idea that not all can reach salvation. To make the system work you
need to interpret the program yourself: a long way from the baroque
community of revellers, the user is closed within the loneliness of
his own inner torment.

"You may object that, with the passage to Windows, the DOS universe
has come to resemble more closely the counter-reformist tolerance of
the Macintosh. It's true: Windows represents an Anglican-style
schism, big ceremonies in the cathedral, but there is always the
possibility of a return to DOS to change things in accordance with
bizarre decisions; when it comes down to it, you can decide to allow
women and gays to be ministers if you want to. ....

"And machine code, which lies beneath both systems (or
environments, if you prefer)? Ah, that is to do with the Old
Testament, and is talmudic and cabalistic..."
