…this is how they would be like:

Windows XP would be Wal-Mart. You get everything and more here at a decent price - nothing really fancy tough. You can chose between two dozen different potato brands, which sometimes is a challenge. It also happens that some potatoes on display are mislabeled, foul, or full of worms, so check thoroughly before you buy. Usually no staff is gonna bother you while shopping, but they aren’t very helpful either once you got hold of them and try to ask something.

Windows Vista would be a lot like Windows XP, except that Wal-Mart employees would approach you every 30 seconds asking if you are absolutely sure you want to buy what you just put in your cart, because it might be mislabeled, foul, or full of worms. There’s also a VIP shopping area where they have better looking potatoes. But they probably won’t let you in anyways, and if you would you would still have to deal with annoying staff. Also, things are generally more expensive than at the Windows XP Wal-Mart.

Mac OS X would have designer shopping carts and biologically degradable bags. You would have to pay a fee to use their carts though, and don’t even try to enter the store with a Wal-Mart bag if you don’t want staff and other customers looking at you with a face. Everything would look cleaner and more sophisticated in comparison to Wal-Mart, but you would also likely pay a bit more for the experience. They would offer a wide variety of apples, but only have one kind of potato. The staff is usually kind and helpful, and usually insists of giving you their business card everytime they help you pick an apple. You can only pay with Mac OS X credit cards though.

Linux wouldn’t be a grocery store at all, but a farm. If you want something you would have to plant it. You would even get the seeds for free. Customers and staff at Linux are usually helpful - if you’d need advice on the process of planting your potatoes, you’d likely get it, although in the end you probably still wouldn’t know how you made it, and you regularly screw up and end up with uneatable potatoes (you’d not be totally lost in that event because you might even get some potatoes for free from other customers - they’re all communists after all). If you made it though, you get the best potatoes in town, exactly as you like them, and for free (not counting the time you invested). It is generally expected that you share them though.
