Mac makes it cool to be a geek. It looks sexy, has a kick ass GUI and
is based on bsd. What more do you want?

Ok, Mark, please give me an example of how MAC OS is more intuitive
than Ubuntu Linux? I mean I know MAC OS has a lovely dock, which you
can recreate in Ubuntu with cairo-dock, but where else? If I want to
open a word doc I double click it. If I want to create a spreadsheet
I go Applications--->Office---OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet.
In my experience I struggle trying to find settings and apps in OS
X. I conclude it's because I know Ubuntu and don't know OS X? I also
think there is the power of branding going on here. People will
spend time learning Windows and MAC OS X where as it's Linux they
throw there hands in the air and give up. Admittedly this is
probably because when they get stuck who do they ask? A friend, A
neighbor and invariably the response is Whats Linux? You should have
got a MAC or used Vista!

So why would a new user adjust easier to a Mac than to
Linux?
You surely do know how to start a war, Joseph...
But, I think OS X is more intuitive, from a lay-user perspective,
than Linux is; and that's why I think users would adopt faster to
OS X if they decided to dump Windows, than if they chose Linux.
Cheers,
Mark.
