This is correct.

I know that. Marklar is only a rumour. But OS X is still a UN*X. Claiming that an OS owns another because of portability is ridiculous, because this is only one detail amongst many others.
Oh, and OSX RULES!!!

true. it is rediculous. i do not use linux because it runs on everything. i use it because of a handful of other reasons. same with jaguar. ease of use, speed, cleanliness, power, the look (yes, look is important to me), stability, downright badass'ness all-around.

Maybe that "multi-processor" excuse is a sign that he would dearly want OS X for PC, so that he can use it. ;)
I should know; I just love OS X, but still have a PC. But I know that it would be suicide to port Aqua.

dude, having high system requirements is a must now adays. Lets face it, less your running from a commandline, or using a barebones OS (Gentoo, slack, etc.) you just shouldent be expecting high eyecandy modern performance.
I have been using alot of win98 and RedHat lately, and while I don't like windowz at all (save a few nifty fetures that I give M$ credit for) I can definetly say I love how snappy and responsive stuff is. And it's not that OSX isn't snappy, it's just that it has lots of eyecandy filler stuff going on with things growing, shrinking, becomeing transparent etc. in Win98, and indeed Mac OS 9 you double click on something and up it pops.
This has become my major comlaint with OSX, not being able to turn off the eyecandy. You can do it in RedHat and Windoze, but not OSX.
Redhat it'self if is a bloated resource hog, but I like it best, most stable linux I have ever used. OSX is still my fav. OS of all time, so don't you folks get any ideas about Psyax, Im still a total MacHead.
Just needed to do some PC programming lately.

I agree. Mac users are bitching about Windows, that can't run on old machines, while Mac OS X requires at least a 400 MHz. At least Windows XP can run on a 200 MHz. It makes Windows better than Mac OS in a way...
Of course, Linux owns them both. It can run on more than just one processor-type.
