No, please, explain to me why OSX is better. I'd love to know, because I think Mac OS is a steaming pile of crap. And I think you misunderstand me, I know the Instinct is a copy of the iPhone, and there will be many more copies. I'd venture to guess that most of them will be an improvement on the iPhone. But since they won't have the little silver apple logo on them, they'll be considered garbage by people who don't know any better. And that's what Apple's customer base is all about: people who don't know any better. People who fall for the most ridiculous advertising. People who think that you can't burn a CD on anything but a Mac.
You don't know me very well either. Please don't waste your breath on me by trying to convince me that Mac OS is better. That's a ridiculous waste of time because it's all about personal preference. Also, I'm in the IT business too. I'm no "Microsoft Developer" (which could mean just about anything. Hell, you could be developing a new calculator for Windows for all I know.) but I do know that a computer science degree is a far cry from making you an expert on anything. I recently switched jobs, and I didn't talk to ONE prospective employer in the Chicago area who gave a rat's ass about computer science degrees. So, don't bother with the credentials, because I actually don't give a rat's ass either.
What came out of PARC is the very reason why the myth still exists that Microsoft "stole" the Windows concept from Apple. Both companies went to Xerox to look at the interface and both companies used it in their own way. And in case you hadn't noticed, Vista looks nothing like OSX. Yes, it has gadgets, but if it had that absolutely ridiculous software dock I would give up completely and switch to Linux. The Unix system that Apples are based on is every bit as archaic as the kernel Windows is built on. Fortunately, Microsoft is actively plugging holes and patching exploits while Apple is sitting there telling their users that Macs simply don't get viruses or malware.

Wow, I don't say this often, but your an idiot.
Most IT Professionals (witch could mean anything, hell, you could just be Tech support for AOL for all I know) will find UNIX operating systems superior to anything MS has produced in there lifetime. OSX is UNIX, forget about the UI, that alone, for all the reasons UNIX is better then Win32/64 OS's, is why it's better. Go look it up.
Thinking that people just buy apple products because they are uninformed is total bullshit. I used an Instinct for a few hours before I looked at the iPhone, and I can tell you 100%, the iPhone was the right choice.
With what you have said above, you can only be speaking from a position of ignorance, and arguing with someone unknowledgable is always an exercise in futility.
I am out of this thread.
