I know most house paints (at least water based) are essentially plastic in a water suspension (or whatever the technical term is). So what's the difference here? That it comes as a pre-made film rather than a liquid?
We use OS-X for a couple of web servers at work. They work fine and all generally speaking. Unfortunately I had to compile some not-so-common abilities into PHP and it was a heinous pain. Then the 10.1.4 update broke PHP and I had to spend another two days trying to get it to work again. I'm not looking forward to this new update.
One thing Apple could do to make me happier would be to issue more, smaller, optional updates. Instead we get things like the 10.1.4 update which had a dozen different packages in it one of which I knew was going to break PHP, but there was no way to say 'install all of these except that one.'
I think that's perhaps the best reason not to use macs for servers. Everythings fine as long as it's vanilla Apple-installed, but trying to tweak it is just asking for trouble.

Exactly. Who wants to be the "assistant" to go retrieve the dead animals? Anyone? Raise your hand. Anyone?
