You can choose your mount-point on Linux (including external partitions), you 
can't on Mac OS (you can't prevent the system from mounting *every* partition 
with a known fs either).

Yep, that's freedom, and that's great. I prefer Linux to MacOS, others prefer 
MacOS, or Windows. I don't suspect all Windows users to be suffering 
(although I do when I have to use it).

What's more, Windows and Mac users have been trained to accept what they are 
given (for Mac users it's almost a religion), hardcore Linux users usually 
will reject the distributions setup just because it's not theirs... different 
cultures and habits.

I mean, if one does not like Linux, Gnome, KDE, and finds the Mac Desktop or 
Windows 7 perfect, he just has to use these...

I like the way Linux works, and I dislike the fact that other OS don't work 
that way, that's why I run Linux 95% of the time.
