Re: [Sheflug] Unix for the masses?

Does it really matter what the underlying OS is so longs as the system does what you want it to? OK, from a Linux/Free Software viewpoint it does matter.... But from Joe Public's viewpoint it's only relevant when buying software. 

Mac users have always had a restricted range of software compared to PC users so I don't think that they'd particularly notice any difference...except that they need to then purchase OS X compatible apps. Once again Steve Jobs bold vision & commercial sense seem to be pulling in opposite directions.

My two pennorth.....
