Eh! Now that MacOS X is esentially just another Unix/Linux flavor, I think
the overall "war" is moot anyway. MS will catch-up/on sooner or later, and
join the bandwagon, too...you'll see.
I'll tell you what, though...as an end user who relies on the power,
stability and feature set of specific packages, it'll take a WHOLE lot more
true (read -corporate-...Adobe, etc.) software support before I'll be making
the switch.
One of the main reasons I stopped using Win/DOS was to AVOID a UI with a
command line interface, and complex hardware/software set-up. I don't have
time or interest in it...that's when the computer becomes another
hobby...God knows I don't need another hobby...I need the computer as a
business tool, ya' know?
