> I would assume developers would be the first ones to use a much more customizable system like some DIY linux distro or something. Is there something im missing here? Some people want that. I just want a machine that mostly works most of the time, where I don't have to spend too much fighting it. And OS X is that. Windows is flat out not an option for me; I'm pretty sure that they don't show advertisements in the start menu or task bar anymore, and that their weird mix of touch-screen OS and desktop OS is only slightly worse than the OS X approach - but I'm not willing to put in the time to find out.
