Interesting article for the best distros to switch to if you're on 
Windows & Mac, especially if you're still on WinXP like I am.

People switch from WinXP and Linux to Mac, not the other way around.

You know that a lot of Mac users are also Linux users, since OSX is based 
on Unix, which is also the mother of Linux.  I, myself, use an enterprise 
Linux(Scientific Linux) because of stability, crash-proof, and free from 
virii and outside software(repo).

Mac offers the above advantages, too, exceot that Mac OSX and iOS differ 
in admitting and regulating outside software.

Yep. I work with enterprise Linux systems for a living. I used to build
my own PCs specifically to run Linux at home, but am now 100% Mac at
home, because it gives me the Unix layer I need with a much better user
experience than any Linux box offers. And I actually have more software
options since most *nix software compiles and runs without issue and I
can boot into Windows if needed as well (or better yet, run any OS I
want in a virtual machine). I wouldn't dream of going back to plain
Linux boxes on my home machines. Linux is best suited for server
environments, because that's where it truly excels, and the price is
right. ; )

I've been running Linux since early 2000's.  I have two Linux' installed 
on the iMac for experimental use.  They have horrible user interfaces. 
(Ubuntu and Suse at present ... there have been others.)

Linux is a fine OS.  It is very well suited for databases, industrial 
controllers, file and web servers, embedded systems of many kinds but it 
is horrible for the average desktop user.

This is why, despite the great hue and cry that Linux would save mankind 
from the evils of Windows that it just has not happened.  Only computer 
nerds can love Linux.  Despite its best feature (free!), very few people 
want to use it for desktops applications.

(It's only very popular in smartphones because those smartphone makers 
can't resist using it - saves them oodles of development and maintenance 
costs.)

And of course the commercial s/w that I need to work with colleagues, 
collaborators, clients, suppliers and government are not at all 
available on Linux.  And won't be.

It's plain wrong, even in Latin. Anyone who uses that makes himself look

With the exception of something special you need to do, not general use.

Because you want to install and run the software you want to, not what

Bull. You clearly know nothing at all about OS X if that's what you
believe. You should learn a bit about things before you make such silly
statements. In my experience *most* popular *nix projects compile
without issue. In fact, I am posting this message from my MacBook Pro
with slrn which I built with the standard ./configure, make, sudo make
install:

<http://slrn.sourceforge.net>

Not only can I compile and run most *nix software, but I can also run
all Windows software titles I want, and of course all OS X software -
more than I would be able to run with an off the shelf Wintel PC running
Windows or Linux, and with a way better user experience.

Too bad that I own a Mac. Because I have to to build projects for Macs also.

Your claim is utter bullshit. Most unix GUI programs will not work at all. 
Not even after making heavy modifications
