well put
very nice put Adrian. I agree with you, Linux has gotten a lot better. More companies are slowly supporting it. I mean, my router manual tells you how to set it up on Linux! Amazon mp3 downloader supports Ubuntu as well.

I just wish more companies would cross-develop in a way that Linux is supported along MacOS and Windows.

I still think that if you need more than internet surfing and basic office, you should go for a Mac. There you have the best of Unix and the supported world. But for many of us, it has become very easy to set up and use.

I find Linux very very good for a static system. One that you set up and forget. If you need a dynamic system, where you add new software the whole time, will eventually hit the unsupported world. It just takes *one* application that you need but don't have on Linux to spoil the party. And as you've said, with all due respect, Wine is pretty much a hobby joke.
