OSX is an interesting case but at the moment it is still an infant. I look forward to seeing what happens with it as you are correct, it is very consumer oriented. To put it another way, it is a chance for *nix to show off its normal user wings if it has any. People who would get off Windows because they have a viable *nix alternative have this option now though there is still a discrepency in available commercial packages which I guess could cause an issue.

Can you say that Mac users tend to be " already knowledgeable with its workings or people who WANT to learn the details using it"? I am not so sure about it. BTW, on Mac OSX, by default the root account is *disabled*. All administrative tasks are done with 'su/sudo'. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
