That was a very neat, if long, read.
I wouldn't call it balanced my self, since it doesn't take up MS much, but I don't think MS should be taken up. It was a good learning experience for me to read that. Thanks.
I thought it was balanced in it's critique of MacOS X, but you're right, it's not balanced when you take all of the current operating systems into account.
As far as I'm concerned, Linux/Unix and Windows are INFINITELY more customizable than MacOS of any flavor. I really think Apple needs to put in Advanced preferences menus for people that really want to tweak the system. I hope they'll unlock more of the system as time goes on. I'd also like to see the terminal app become a bit quicker to open.
If Apple fixes the gripes mentioned in this article and companies continue to release good software for it, OS X could become THE OS to beat.
