Mate, get over the hate. Seriously, you're so blinded by your hate of Apple that you've closed your mind to what potentially millions of power users in need of a reliable, flexible Unix desktop operating system need. And it's making you look like a narrow minded idiot.
Whitehouse conversation circa 2001 (actually, probably sometime around Feb 2001); "Lets jam our fists into this plump iraqi beehive and lick the sweetness... but how can we do it without annoying the bee freaks?"

Well, inadvertently admitting your own shortcomings are we? In a public forum no less. How embarrassing! Any wonder you ticked the anonymous box.
I won't complain here, but the motherfucker had better hope I don't see 'em do it. No judge, no trial, straight to execution.

Good show, old chap, well done indeed. I, for one, miss the smell of hot dusty valves, and the high pitched whine of an ageing flyback transformer.
