The OS X effect
Don't know about most of you but here's what I've noticed.
Before OS X came. I remember alot of interest in
Yellow Dog Linux
LinuxPPC
SUSE
It was obvious that people wanted the stabilty and many were not adverse to putting up with a slightly nonintuitive UI to get it.
Fast Forward 2 years and this dull roar has all but been extinguished. This tells me that despite the small shortcoming of Jaguar. Many of us realize that it gives us most of what Linux has to offer and then some. Nothing wrong with striving for perfection so the dissenting comments are always welcome when coming in a constructive manner.

However, there are still a lot of geeks out there who will steer clear of OS X because "it's still a Mac". I don't think OS X will ever fully displace these other technologies, but it will certainly continue to be the most widely used UNIX-based OS in the world for several years to come IMO.
OS X == Linux but without the fuss.
Torifile-
Yeah I hear you. I was shocked to read that OSX has like %95 of BSD Commands. I has "Ass U me'd" that somehow Apple had left alot of commands out in my ignorance but it seems that alot of knowledge from learning OSX will directly transfer over to BSD. I like that kind of duplication.
Linus should be pissed. OSX is working. The next homerun the Apple needs to smash out the park is a new Filesystem that will make even the most ardent ReiserFS fanatic green with Envy.
