I agree on the issues relating to freedom. That is a no-brainer. Apple and Freedom. My argument was based on the technical merits of OS X and I stand by it. and my disclosure: I love 'computing' and it is one of the greatest interest in my life. I am not a fan boy of any one OS. I am excited equally when I work with: Linux - For it's freedom, free beer, humane and community models and more than anything feeling good seeing people putting in valuable time to create stuff for everybody to use. Apple - Engineering, Perfection and Beauty. ...and XCode (personal preference as be best free IDE) Microsoft - Win32 SDK (personal preference as the greatest API ever made) and MS Office.
