I would argue that the age of Unix as an end-user OS is already here. See iPhone and Android sales figures. Also, WebOS, etc.

  yeah, linux is too narrow. All of my devices are now Unix. Mac Desktops, Ipad, Iphone, and I use linux for servers. I haven't touched a windows box in many years. I've never used vista or windows 7.

    Maybe you should give Windows 7 a chance. I use a Mac at home, and I really like Windows 7 at work.

      I can't live without a unix shell.

  None of those are remotely Unixy from a user perspective. Neither the iPhone nor WebOS ever expose a filesystem to the user. Neither Android nor WebOS expose Unix to App developers. Android doesn't even present a real Unix system to the OS developers!

    I'm sure a lot of Unix old timers would claim that my Ubuntu desktop also isn't very Unixy. I'm not complaining though.
