It's basically a child's version of Linux/Free BSD that you get charged for. If you want OSX, just get Ubuntu and put up with the slightly less shiny visuals. Also, why does OSX crash without fail when i try and play youtube videos? Seems like it can't do the simplest of tasks. Windows has it's problems, but at least it does things its own way, and Windows 7 is the best iteration of the OS to date, fact. And just because MS implement a new user interface in Windows 7 that's modern and slick with some very user friendly features doesn't automatically qualify it as an Apple imitator. Basically I'd like to encourage you to get a little perspective. I find the majority of OSX quite disingenuous. It's basically a child's version of Linux/Free BSD that you get charged for.

Thankfully with the news that valve is bringing steam to osx there is now virtually no need for me to run windows via bootcamp and the games i love to play (hl2 and l4d2) will be playable natively in osx, yay :) That looks really nice!

No more Registry for starters. Why is it that Microsoft will try to imitate Apple's UIs, but they won't learn from what they do under the hood? The whole concept of applications being self-contained packages, for example, is something MS really needs to look into. Just out of curiosity, are you dual-booting your iMac with OS X, or have you entirely replaced it with Win7?
