Linux is actually the system I would choose to have in the most wide
spread use in all areas of computing ... however, since it is given away
for free, fools cannot recognize the value ... hence, not a large enough
market share to interest game developers and other large market share
uses ... it is a crying shame and demonstrates the truth to the

Mac OS X does pretty much everything that Linux does plus it was better
support from software and hardware manufacturers.


Can it load up windows libraries and run windows binaries?

MACS are weak, and you will have to abandon any hope of running most
free/shareware apps or even popular mainstream apps ... they just aren't
written for the MAC ... the bitter truth.

I'm not sure about its non-Apple support being better. For instance,
I have to tell Word every time that I want my Kodak printer to print
duplex. Linux has to support all hardware and software.

Howard: pretty much any piece of Linux software can be recompiled for
Mac OS X. So if it works on Linux, you can make it work in precisely the
same way the Linux guys do: compile it and install it.


Better yet, just dump the crap OS X OS and load up linux ... your choice
of apps and games will be MUCH LARGER! Only problem then with be the
actual MAC hardware, which you will have to deal with and upgrade, if
possible.

Nope. Because with Mac OS X you can run Linux apps and games, but Linux
can't run Mac OS X software.

I Linux beats Windows in your estimation, then automatically, Mac OS X
beats both, because it can do everything that Linux can do and then more.

Quick:

Name a Linux app you claim the Mac (please note that "MAC" is an acronym
for Media Access Controller, among other things, not the name of Apple's
computers).

I can't do it if I don't have the source code nor the compiler.
