Many OS X software packages come as disk images which, once mounted and opened, contain the software and an alias to your Applications folder, separated by an arrow. Drag one onto the other to install it. It's fairly idiot-proof.
I've stuck with Symbian 60 phones for the last four or five years, and there's a lot I like about them. However, the S60v3 software seems to be full of bugs that couldn't keep up with the hardware features on either my current N95 or my previous N73. The web browser is as good as useless.
On a purely geek note, I'd love a VNC server for Symbian 60. As far as I've found, there is no FOSS server available, and my programming skills are not up to the job of porting:(
According to the OS X EULA, "This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."
When I bought my Macbook, it came with an Apple logo sticker. When I upgraded to 10.5, a similar decal came with the software. Perhaps a legal mind could explain to me in what way sticking one of these labels to a Hackintosh would make it anything other than an 'Apple-labeled computer...?
My Windows-using flatmate laments the days of his Amiga, when an install was a simple drag-and-drop. Most Mac software is like that, only the really low-level stuff needs an installer.
I reckon the relative bloat of XP has been supplanted by the increasing power of computers in the last eight years.
Microsoft's minimum recommended specs say it'll run on anything down to a 233mhz machine with 64mb of RAM, but I imagine the end user would be long dead by the time it got round to doing anything useful.
Going on those facts, Vista should be fairly useable by 2015:)
While I don't have a Mac handy to confirm this, a quick Google suggests that OS X does not include GCC. Rather, it's included with XCode, which is a free download from Apple, much like the free version of Visual Studio from Microsoft.
XCode is also included on the OS X install media, and is an optional install when you first set up your Mac or upgrade the OS.
Actually, according to the OS X EULA (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx105.pdf) "This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."

Highest detection rate != best antivirus. False positives are a PITA.
As someone with little disposable income, I agree entirely.
Amen. I was gutted that my mid-2007 Macbook wouldn't run Counterstrike. I'm stuck with Unreal Tournament for the time being... :)
I'd have to disagree on Garageband. I'm a seasoned Logic user, and I find it very useful as a sketchpad. A four-track recorder to Logic's full studio.
That would fit in with the fact that the 8-core model ships with a baseline 6GB of RAM.
For a long time I was running it on an Indigo iBook (366mHz PPC, 192mb RAM).
The egg?

Or am I massively wide of the mark?

No point in having hardware features if you don't have the software to use them.
I suppose you could leave a tiny mosquito toilet in the jar and check which ones are leaving the seat up...

Maybe they should've served their webpage from it.
Heck, this is why Apple swapped to the magnetic power plug! Why are the rest of the connections less important?
They swapped to the magnetic power plug to prevent the problem of people tripping over the power cord causing the laptop to fly across the room.
That feature has saved my mid-2007 Macbook's life twice in the last two days.
I really must move that table from the middle to the edge of the room.

The Cell in the PS3 is basically a PPC core and 7 DSP cores, though I believe they call them SPEs (Synergistic Processing Elements).
