While standalone, Mac OS X is great. When you put it in hetergoenus
netowrk it's worse than Windows. CUPS is broken, Samba is broken, OSX
can't live on WiFi networks (it drops connection when it's idle, leaving
open SMB sessions that lock files on servers), etc.

To put it in one sentence: OSX is nice when it's alone.
