Run Linux, OSX & XP on a single machine, without rebooting. That's bliss for web dev like me. Sure, those college students may be lured by the 'ooo, shiny ...' factor but they stay for the power & ease of use. One of the keys to Apple's success is the marriage of open and closed systems: *NIX at the bottom with a well thought-out and (closed) UI on top. Good design (& designers) tend to be dictatorial because difficult decisions need to be made (which features to leave out). Hence the closed GUI system.
