Or you might wake up one day to realize that you and your friends are in the extreme minority.

  MacOsX is based off BSD. His/her friends may not be in as big of a minority as you think. Edit: I stand corrected.

    Linux and BSD are not nearly the same thing. And I'm not even being overly pedantic here. They have 2 things in common: * They try (and arguably succeed at) cloning Unix. * The adopt a permissive license for sharing and copying. Beyond this, they're 2 completely different projects with nothing more in common. Heck, even the "permissive licenses" they each use are contradicting in philosophy. You seem to imply that Linux has reached ubiquity on the desktop because MacOSX is based on BSD. This is just wrong.

    Linux Desktop refers to the entire package, not just the underlying plumbing. OSX is MacOS built atop a BSD variant.
