I do wonder how Windows to OS X. made it on that otherwise agreeable list.

  Or IE to Chrome specifically. Speaking personally I find Chrome very feature-poor and much prefer Firefox, and nothing that's changed in recent releases from either looks likely to change that opinion.

  What do you mean? OS X is a POSIX-certified UNIX, with a damn fine UI, and tons of both proprietary and OSS for it. I can understand people liking Linux/Solaris etc more, but are there people that really believe Windows is better?

    Yes. It confuses the hell out of me that I'm defending Windows here - I'm an OSS enthusiast and run Linux whenever I can. Thing is: Operating systems are at this point just a more complex choice of preference and taste. Pick anything recent (I'm not going to stand for Win 95/98/ME/XP), use common sense and best practices for the platform and you're golden. No, OS X is not by default a better system. It might attract you as a BSD with a UI that you consider damn fine. Other people are free to disagree and like their choice of platform better, be it Windows, Linux, *BSD or whatnot. I repeat: There's _zero_ ground for calling OS X generally superior (nor inferior!) in a war of operating systems, neither technically nor in any other way.
