Still a bit skittery when it comes to apple. Why buy apple when it is just BSD with a nice haircut? And I don't like proprietary hardware... I will probably go Linux, Ubuntu rocks too.
Can’t help you with your skittishness. Leopard is excellent and the best OS that allows you to run XP and what consumers want. End of story.
If you are a Linux user, enjoy. But most people aren’t going to run Linux.
