it's the graphical interface that i like, not how the exterior looks.

since I'm a java developer though i don't actually care about the OS
that much since Java will run on windows, mac, or linux.

as to mac's place in the world, hmmmm.....have you looked at how apple
is doing lately...mac growth is exploding....

""We're very pleased to report 48 percent year-over-year growth in
Mac shipments in Q4, as well as our 10th consecutive quarter of record
iPod sales," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "Looking ahead
to the first quarter of fiscal 2006 which will span 14 weeks, we expect
revenue of about $4.7 billion. We expect GAAP earnings per diluted
share of about $.46, including an estimated $.03 per share expense
impact from non-cash share-based compensation, translating to non-GAAP
EPS of about $.49.""
