The temporary lack of GNU tools and packages, both of which are entirely relieved by MacPorts, is FAR outweighed by working native commercial software (Photoshop, Office, VMware, etc) and the excellent hardware support. Try calling Lenovo with a Linux issue. I'm not 16 anymore and I don't have time for that shit. Even as good as cygwin can get, it will always pale in comparison to OS X as a "UNIX," and even as good as Linux can get, it's still going to be a pain in the fucking ass and not have commercial software. Given OS X wasn't an option, I would still choose Linux over Windows though.
