Posted by pudge on from the guilt-is-for-the-weak dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's an interesting commentary on OSDir.com about one Mac OS X user's guilt over using it instead of Linux on his laptop, and how he's been burned by the dreaded iBook logic board problems so much that it underlines the tyranny of hardware vendor lock-in: it's not that Mac OS X isn't F/OSS, but that it only runs on Apple hardware. It also raises the obvious question: have you ever felt guilty over using Mac OS X instead of Linux?"

    You "get what you pay for.." is an insult to all the hardworking OSS coders and the academic ones before them

    It's definately an insult to all the KDE programmers who handed Safari to Apple on goddamn platter.

    OS X wouldn't exist without open source.
