So, does this mean that Uber will profile individual accounts to see if its machine learning algorithms predict that someone's less price sensitive, and "should" be charged more than someone else even traveling the same route at the same time?
1 -- It's Unix under the hood. I'm a Unix hacker, and it's nice to be able to write programs easily.
2 -- A nicer GUI than any other system. It looks much nicer and is much more intuitive than any Windows version, or any Unix I used.
3 -- Device drivers just work. The OS seems to always have the right drivers for the system I have, and they work without a need to constantly tweak them every release.
4 -- No virus infections so far. Back when my kids had Windows systems, they were constantly getting viruses. None of my Macbooks have ever gotten infected, in a total of 30 or so person years of using Macbooks. I asked someone who *works for Microsoft* how they handled the constant virus infections, and he said they just reimage their systems every week. At that point, I vowed never to give MSFT another dollar of my money. I failed, due to the need to have Office, but I certainly won't buy Windows.

Those are the biggies.
