I've been a Mac fan since 1987. I love graphical user interfaces, and Mac OS (any version) is great. I'm not too much of a command line/Unix/ Linux user, but I think the control that this allows is intriguing.
Well, MacOS X is UNIX! It's BSD. I would think that this would excite all Unix/Linux users.
Also, not too familiar with Unix, but X11 windowing is included with OSX. It's supposed to be fairly easy to recompile or run Unix apps ontop of MacOSX with X11. This is amazing! Trillions of apps written for Unix can be run on the Mac! Anyone excited about this?
