What are you saying by that? - That linux is not worthy of a decent 
computer? Or that OS X is better than Linux?

Either way I have used OS X for the last 5 months on it, I'm getting fed 
up with trawling across the internet finding updates for my 
applications. Also I love the GNU software, which is mostly ugly in OSX 
(e.g. GIMP). In my opinion nothing beats apt for convenience.

Personally I didn't get a MBP 'cause of OS X, I got it because I thought 
the build quality was outstanding. It's my first apple product, and it 
is really good. It would seem that I don't have much choice in the 
matter, I'm gonna have to stick with OS X, which isn't so bad.
