All that is easy to say.

But Apple has proved that a bunch of dedicated engineers can
out-develop the Huge Army of Open-Source Hackers in usability.

How long has it been since KDE and GNOME have tried to produce good
Unix desktops? Ages.

And then Apple comes along, slaps a GUI on FreeBSD and they take over
the (desktop) world.

I think that the Free / Open Source community is not really that
equipped to building a desktop for Grandma. FOSS community is too
engrossed with gee whiz technology and technical stuff
(performance....) that simply isn't too interesting to the general
public.
