You know what, you're right. I'll bet all those dudes started dissing Linux back in 1981 when I was born. They said "guys, in a decade or so, some Finnish kid is gonna make Linux... we'd better get a head start on rippin' it a new one!"
Ya, dudes were makin' fun of it before I was born.

Uh... I doubt it. Consider that Mac OS X uses technologies that have existed since 1988. Linux could have been built on similiar concepts and technologies, but it never was. Nothing stopped them from basing early distros on NeXTStep rather than boring, plain UNIX.
Mac OS X already does all the things Linux can. It has a UNIX layer that's BSD-compatible. The BSD utilities are included as part of a default install. OS X has all the advancements brought by the BSD and GNU communities of late, along with the rich legacy of NeXTStep.
Linux distros, while they have an advanced kernel, lack the higher-level stuff that you'll find it OS X

You still said that I wasn't born, whether I misunderstood the expression or not.

Cool. No one is going to win here. Im going to try and play mediator here and keep the peace. I would like to finish this in some way though. Once and for all. Well, at least for once ;P
Linux heads: Why is Linux a better os.?
Mac heads: Why is OSX a better os?
Give your reasons. you can leave out answers like "Its open source", or "it looks better hurr hurr". From a techincal standpoint, why is your os better? This might turn into quite the flamewar, but i have faith in this strugling community to debate in a civilised manor.
I tried to start posting my reasons for using osx over linux, but all my points were weak and could have been applied to redhat or mandrake as well. :(
So someone else want to light the match, or at least give some insight into why you use what you do?

Why are we doing this?
(Heart-warming music starts in the background)
I mean, the only thing binding us together is our mutual hate of Windows! Why not celebrate that instead?
Sure, you may think OS X is just a toy, and you may think Linux is the same as Windows, but come on people! Think about the blue screen of death for a second, or the mystery error messages!
For heaven's sake, think about the children that are growing up right now thinking Windows is the only operating system there is!
