I think one of the points you make in your excellent note is worth highlighting: Linux is having a hard time on the desktop. Despite the excellent efforts of Nautilus and Ximian, when people think Linux they think backend, embedded, or clustering. On the other hand, Mac OS X probably won't be the backend beast that Linux is, but I think it is finally going to bring Unix to the desktop. And that's a good thing. |
