Turning the question around is a good idea. If I flew often enough to know airlines well I'd do some of those.

OS X

You buy first class tickets, board the plane without a hitch, take off and have a very enjoyable flight. However when you arrive at your destination the pilot informs you that you can't land because "the runway and the plane are not compatible"

Suse Linux

You're given the materials and no instructions and only have a broken airport.

Seriously, if anyone wants to help me, I beseech thee, do it.

Windows Vista: Reportedly has great service, but only to the newest airports.

Windows 95:
Your airline takes off, however the stewardess informs you that no electronics may be used and cards are all you have to entertain yourself. Eventually you'll attempt to play a video game and the captain will inform you that the plane seems to be slowing down due to a shortage of gas. The plane stops midway to your destination and immediately falls out of the sky and crashes into the blue ocean, although, if you survive, you are told that nothing happened.

Winbdows Vista (Beta), newest looking planes, but same interior as all other Win-type airlines. Is also the first airline to be sued for bias as it will only allow certain companies equipment to be attached to its plane.

Mac OSX-- guaranteed better service than 9 but unfortunately, it doesn't have all the fancy features of other airlines like in-flight movies (video games) and the ticket is more expensive, at least it doesn't blow up, short out, crash or any other problem known to flight, you get there and the job gets done, and it does have headphones that plug into those jacks in your seat (iPod+iTunes)

Boot Camp: You get two airlines for the price of one. YAY! You can either have the elegant and reliable Mac airline, or the fussy but gaming-friendly Windows airline. The best of both worlds.

Actually boot camp is a beta software, a piece of the new Leopard OS thats being tested in the current OS, so is not so much its own airline as a sort of glue or somthing... or a teleporter that lets you switch planes on a whim or some device that turns the plane into a transformer...
