Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cloudane" data-source="post: 44671"><p>Funny enough (just to expand upon the idea of changing your mind about a system) I used to be a big Linux fan.  It was only when I tried the Mac that I began to dislike it.  OS X really shows how a *NIX (well, BSD) based system can not only have its cake (open standards, stability, security, enourmous flexibility/tinkerability) but eat it too (be *easy* to use -it-just-works!-, smooth, fast, seamless and pretty).  Never would I want to go back to having 15 window managers, 38 text editors, half hour bootup times, having to compile so much because there's no standard Linux model between distributions, no decent way of centralising applications, messing around with RPMs, spending entire *weeks* trying to get a new piece of hardware working etc.  It's either OS X or Windows for me from now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
