Slightly related, but two (female) friends of me recently watched me using my laptop and could tell there's a difference between my openSUSE setup and Windows, but they just said sth along the lines "hey, that's not windows... looks like this Mac thing"

Once you get used to using the top of the screen for app switching it gets pretty easy to use (and pretty slick too I might add).
I'm installing Xubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) right now on my HTPC so I can try to use that instead of Windows 8 (it sucks and I don't want to buy Windows). I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to set up XBMC again and get everything working, but you never know. I'm also really hoping that some of the OpenGL specific bugs in Dolphin can be resolved at some point so I can ditch Windows altogether forever! I can live with bad shading in Skyward Sword, but some games (like Starfox Adventures) and Sonic Heroes have serious issues with OpenGL that I would love to have fixed... But I should stop talking about Dolphin now.

Propertiary drivers from nvidia are actually really good. And OpenGL is getting better and better since delroth joined dolphin. On a side note, anybody knows what happend to OpenGL ES backend that xsacha was working on? F S M I believe. 10-06-2012, 07:10 PM
10 years of support for Windows vs 2-3 for OSX. Buying service packs every other year to keep getting sercurity updates or a new Mac altogether when Apple no longer wants to support it makes OSX more expensive then the sticker price would tell you.

Tbh, I've never needed support past 5 years because at that point I would be shopping for a new computer. This would bug some people though, just not me.

For people who are strictly OS X users shopping for a new computer could be quite an expensive investment. But if you've got the money, it's not an issue I guess.
