Doesn't count.

That's a no brainer, because OS X is a "walled garden" -- they've sued the crap out of anybody who tries to make something that will run their software. I'd call that more "asshole-ish" than "versatile". :) Luckily it looks like folks have finally figured a way to run OS X in a VM without needing apple hardware, and have done it in a way that protects them from the army of Apple lawyers. Apple is a pretty scary company, ya know? People can argue that it's their right to be scary, and I'm fine with that, but that doesn't make it not scary. :Den -- He who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man.
