With OSS, at least the developers are honest, and tell the users which versions are beta, and which are stable versions. Everybody knew the 2.1.x kernels were experimental, and could run 2.0.x if their box was real important. If you don't want to be a beta tester, you don't have to.
With Mickeysoft, there's no telling what's stable and what's experimental. (But as a rule of thumb, it's all beta...)
Why? Because it's a beaut!

God knows I've had my share of but-ugly, but functional machines (My latest is a 486 held together by superglue and duct tape, running debian).
But the iMac is so pretty, I've been dreaming of setting it up as my desktop machine with Linux on it ever since I saw the first pitcure of it. Compilations can always be done on a Pentium thing in a closed, anyway...
