I don't see the point to your posting in this thread!
I'd have to say its incredibly relevant, OSX is no good to him because it won't run on his computer.

In my experience OSX is a pretty good OS, and if I was able to run it on my machine, I would certainly consider it.

Its package manager is much better than the Linux alternatives which are great if your program is in the repository, but suck otherwise. The GUI effects are not as nice as Compiz, but better than Vista in that the animations and features actually help productivity a bit. I actually like the Start menu approach of Windows XP/Vista as opposed to OSX's dock/dig through your applications folder approach. I have heard that a third party program called Quicksilver lets you search programs and run them quickly (kinda like Vista's Start Menu search bar).

It is built on a solid kernel, but from what I understand security settings are a bit lax compared to linux.
