"The EU is pretty fragmentary and local law trumps EU law when it comes to the citizens of your own country. This creates all kinds of loopholes."
That's completely false. EU law (if correctly adopted, and with sufficient legal basis in the treaties) prevails over local law.
Also, some EU laws (the regulations, as opposed to the directives), don't even have to be implemented into local law to have direct effect.
I bought an iMac, used OSX for three months, and then went back to Ubuntu. I only use OSX to watch TV with my OSX-only Elgato antenna which I got for free with the iMac.
First, I don't care that there are cheaper systems out there that run linux (and may even have better hardware support). I wanted an iMac, and there it is.
Second, I didn't like OSX that much. It looks nice, but it can be very counterintuitive to use. You can also feel that you only get what you pay for: quicktime movies don't play fullscreen, you get demo's for programmes instead of the full programmes, I ended up watching music videos that had watermarks in them to show that I made them with a demo verion of the program (flip4mac or something?). Seeing advertisements of how revolutionary 'Spaces' is in the next version of OSX didn't help either.
Third, I like Ubuntu a lot. I started using it 2,5 years ago on my Inspiron, and the OS suits me that much that I don't ever feel hindered to get things done.
Of course, I could be using virtualisation software; but why would I do that if I only use Ubuntu? Did I tell you that even the (proprietary I guess) Citrix ICA client that I use to work from home works better under Ubuntu than under OSX?
Now for the negative side: my iSight camera doesn't really work well at the moment (under Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10).

According to their website, they provide you with a "malibox"!
I'll wait for the iPod pico!
Of course you're not a grammar geek. This is about spelling, not grammar.
