I attribute the relative normalcy to having deep roots in DOS from as far back as 1984, some periphery exposure to UNIX in 1987 - 1991 (including SCO UNIX286), plenty of Windows exposure, fairly early GUI Linux (Lindows/Linspire) and a touch of RHL (via Ed), and a full blown indoctrination (trial by fire) into GUU Linux about 2 years ago. I took up Mac very late in the game, December 1007. So I have not been blinded by it, mostly because my ees were pretty well gouged out with all the then-recent Vista debacle where my vision was virtually destroyed by viewing aero display on almost compatible machines.
Seriously, I like the Mac environment, but my own reality is I am stuck in a World of Windows as long as I remain working with auto dealers for my target market. I do not ever see moving my clients to Linux or Mac, simply because all auto manufacturers' communication processes are based on Windows platforms. I do get to use Linux as nice file, web and database Servers for far less $$$ than Windows Server. And Mac keeps family members out of harm's way with malware and other threats without the presumed suffering of moving to Linux GUI. For those who can't afford a Mac, I view Ubuntu as the Poor Man's Mac, and my salvation when it comes to having to deal with Windows based infections wherever I can get someone to move off Windows. Hey, wait a minute... Who the hell says I am normal, anyway?!?
