Here's is a verbatim quote from Bill Joy:
"I just got a new Mac with two 2-gigahertz processors, 8 gigabytes of memory, and a half a terabyte of internal disk... Re-implementing what I designed in 1979 is not interesting to me personally. For kids who are 20 years younger than me, Linux is a great way to cut your teeth. It's a cultural phenomenon and a business phenomenon. Mac OS X is a rock-solid system that's beautifully designed. I much prefer it to Linux... I just want a system that works."

That's from the man who wrote Berkeley UNIX. So, unless YOU are more knowledgeable and distinguished than Bill Joy, or Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the Web), or James Gosling (inventor of Java), who all PREFER to use MacOS X, your asinine remark betrays the mind of an ignoramus with grand delusions of geekiness.
