Should OS X and Linux fight or join forces?

Kelly McNeill writes: “With the recently released update to Mac OS X, Apple can now boast that it has created the first Unix-based operating system fit for the masses. The newly refined OS has not only managed to incorporate its tried-and-true ease of use with the speed and stability that is Unix, but also has managed to bring about incredible developer support in a very short amount of time. However, despite the incredible work being accomplished by Unix user interface developers, their efforts have not brought about the same surge of development for Linux that Apple is enjoying.”
