But what about Unix and BeOS?  You bashed them too earlier, but here
you only mention M$ stuff.  FYI: Micro$oft does NOT provide Unix

It might very well be so: for people with non-remarkable software
needs, who don't want to tinker and who have no hardware projects of
their own, a Mac is probably the best choice.  However there are
other kinds of users, and to them the best choice may be something
else.

unless you run very little software of course.
