Another aspect is games. WoW, native on OSX. Quake4, native, OSX. Tons
of games, native on OSX. Want the same on Linux, give up the ATI card, fight
with compiling nVidia drivers into the kernel, $5/month for Cedega and hope
they keep updating with the latest patches.
Gaming is the only thing keeping Windows on my machine and gaming is what
Linux is really weak. While one can do work with OOo vs. Office when one is
wanting play a game another game "kinda like it" doesn't cut it.
