I love how you guys present your opinions as facts. you're as bad as the trolls.

Mac OS X is superior still.

Add to all of the benefits of Linux, these things:

highly advanced PDF-based display layer, accelerated though OpenGL

NeXTStep inherited goodies, like single-icon application packages that allow drag-and-drop install/removal, NetInfo,

object-oriented programming model using the YellowBox or Cocoa APIs

backward compatibility with Mac OS 9 by installing on the same filesystem (yeah, a UNIX-core OS and a non UNIX OS coexisting on the same partition)

the most well-designed UI in the world. It has the best concepts from both the original Macintosh UI, and from NeXTStep

however... it does have several cons

price: you have to have the hardware to run it, and Mac OS X itself is $129. however, seeing as 10.3 will run on the blue G3, the cost of getting hardware for it is honestly very nominal ($375 or so?) or you could get a new eMac for less than a grand

oh... that's about it. hardware requirements seem steep, but then, when you consider that 10.2 runs on the beige G3, which was available in a 233MHz model, as well as the Wallstreet G3 PowerBook, which came in a 217MHz model, and the fact that it actually performs reasonably well, considering its nature, is quite nice. the original iMac, another 233MHz machine also will run 10.3. This is 1998 hardware. 5 years old, man.

Linux runs on hardware of the same age, but it doesn't provide the advanced features.

stop making assertions that are really opinions. you feel Linux is best... but based on actual technological advancement... it's not. it might be the best for you, but it's by no means "the best".

sorry    :(

First you call my facts 'Opinions'  then present your opinions as 'facts' and naturly your right!  I dunno about OSX but I do know that their users are morons!  You've just prooven that point for me!  Thanx   :D

hm_murdock:
wow. I suppose listing tech specs, and the consensus of countless reviews of the OS now counts as "opinions"

man, I think you're the worst dude in the world.

that's an opinion, just so you'll know

I will kick your ass.

that's a fact. an assertion. a truth, just so you'll know.

slave:
I've used Mac OS X.  It's almost as easy to use as GNOME.  I would use it but my doctor told me to avoid extremely sugary things like the gumdrop-smothered GUI.

Ha hah
