just as an info.. rumors say the x86 osx exists in the apple labs i think its true though it won't hit the shelf as every application would have to be either just recompiled or havily modified as the carbon core is for the ppc architecture true cocoa apps wouldnt be any problem (btw cocoa is based on an open spec from next/sun implemented under linux as gnustep)..
btw darwin the underlying core of the osx system is multiplatform.. best in my eyes would be to stick with linux -- multiplatform and open sources.. so no lock-in
(the comment box ate my return formatting before:| )
well i personally like to write everything in lowercase:).. though you were right it was a bit unstructured (but arent we all a bit chaotic:))
as for ms (or m$ as you'd like).. i think they are quite interested in a lock in situation as they stated (in)officially in the haloween documents (btw they act as quite every company would like) .. so a good reason to not use or pragate their products is to not get and let them get you in such a situation (on a small scale)
as for your signiture.. is this a quotation of your own thought.. "GPL is a greater long-term threat" .. and then what threat ? from making money, freedom, "prosperty of the western world" ? and why .. i for myself consider the gpl as a good buisness model also in respect to exploitation of any kind
btw my mother tongue is not english.. so i may make spelling mistakes:)

you cant be really serious to think ms came up with their xp for good.. i think you're first quite soon in a lock in position if you follow their lead.. second they copied quite massive stuff as i know from bsd as ex in network handling and third as they have damn much money so it isnt remarkable they know more about the proprietary suspend mechanisms yet.. it seems as ms is on cullumination point and while with linux all directs upwards - while they are somewhat on the same height..
