I dunno' if it's just me, but it seems like, soon enough, the only real difference people will notice between these Operating Systems is that Macs have nice hardware and Linux is free. Here are my reasons for this (it just seems logical). We all know Mac, Windows, and Linux do basically the same things- media, internet, 3d rendering, games, documents, etc. Now, the main arguments with Linux THESE DAYS is hardly about hardware support, due to significant improvement, but almost entirely about, "I...

This post is a little long so please do not be put off by it!!!! Also please excuse any typos, I tried to keep them to a minimum.
