    Linux is maybe an okay OS to play with but I wonder why nobody interviews the Apple Geniouses that are behind 10.3? We all know that Apple has done what Unix/Linux hasn't been able to do fir past 10-15 years. Delivering a reliable, eye candy, popular desktop OS. I mean we still don't have reliable copy/paste in Linux. Do I need to say more? How about admitting that Apple has won this battle. Linux would be much better by moving to Mac OS and Apple simply because Apple is more verstile and more trnedy technology. Its more stable, and before you start bashing let me ask you this: do you run Linux as a DEsktop OS, and if you do lets admit that as soon as you apt-get update, or up2date you know that in 3-4 months of those updates your OS will be broken! We have to give it to Apple and Steve Jobs how simply have a vision, and better leadership. Their applications aren't developed by 18 year olds who got only pride and l33t attitiude. Developing serious OS == Apple!
