It was never about ease of use. Linux is not even cose to being easy to use at the start. The point is functionality. I can just DO more with a Windows and Linux sstem than with a Mac system. Ease of use or not, if i can't do as much ease of use is pointless.

Actually, the ease of use is the key issue here. If you totally disregard it, you can to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING a Windows or Linux can on a Mac, you just need to do it all yourself. Pick up XCode and start hammering code.

How much have you actually used OS X? Honestly?

 

I had to use OSX my entire last year in college, since my brother needed the windows laptop. It's nice and easy to get into, looks pretty yes. First I lamented playing games as much, then I lamented the fact SOME apps didn't have an equivalent, but I got around that with enough digging (ease of use?). Then I just lamented the utter openness of Linux (though I would have been one of those whose HW had gotten fried with that driver). The point is I got by with using it, I just lacked small obscure apps which no one would port from Windows, or the quickness of a nicely  modified Linux (the linux boxes at work are friken AMAZING). Also I don't belive macs have been prooven in large-scale networks have they? By large-scale I mean corporations with offices all over the world. Does Apple even have a corporation department?

Also upgrading harware is a fuckign bitch.
