Dude, so not flame-bait here. Nothing offensive is intended. I ask these questions because I don't have the answers.
As I saw with my (limited) Linux experience, access control for files was limited to one user or group. To me that seems unworkable when compared to NTFS. With WIndows you can have an unlimeted number of users and groups in an ACL and 7 levels of permission. SO you can give Project Managers full control of a directory, and workers read access.
Also, I am familure with root, but that is not central. You refered to it on the "system" and that is distributed. With Windows, I can put your user account into the Domain Admins group, and you are now "root" on over 4000 pc's. Plus we can give and take rights away at a very granular level. Does Linux or Mac have anyting like this?
But end users need to be controlled! Can anyone tell me how Mac or Linux allows central control of what the id10t holding the mouse can get to to break?

Just believing the hype dude. I stand corrected, although I don't get the whole story.

OS X is built on the Free BSD kernal. Is that what they are eluding to regarding openness?

Even more important is that More Slaw IS hurting the industry.
