I use a Mac laptop and Ubuntu/XP on my desktop, and like Dean I use my Mac for video editing (FCP, there isn't anything else I can use with a few cameras). It seems to me that any non-moral freedom is one that you should be able to give away, but that the real debate should be over what you get in return and your ability to hold the freedom-receiving entity (person, corporation, idea, whichever) accountable to some degree for an equitable exchange. For me, Apple complicates and multiplies possible meanings and experiences through Leopard, I think it's really well-done and I save a lot of time and make things I couldn't otherwise by using it. Plus, it is sitting on Darwin (BSD + NeXT) and a lot of the software I use on Leopard is free and oss software. I'm interested in where this will go! see ya christopher
