Tired of waiting while your PC slowly scours its hard drive for a document you stashed somewhere six months ago?
Takes all of 1 second using locate.

Sick of having to change how you work to conform with the computer's rigid way of organizing files?
No, not really. I can make them do pretty much whatever I want using ln.

Bored with the flat look of the desktop's graphics? Between the alpha transperency and transparent menus of KDE and GNOME, live desktop backgrounds (think using your screensaver as a desktop), vector based icons, and gdesklets which allow me to add things like realtime system information and collapsable email applets to my desktop, I would say that Linux has me pretty much covered.

So does OSX...

Good for you.

Searching on a PC NEVER takes only one second. It does on a Mac. If you've ever used iTunes, imagine a search of every file you have the same way.

Linux does have some neat stuff, but it's still not this good. The main reason is at the OS X screen compositing layer, where all the windows on your screen are essentially treated as layers in a Photoshop document. It didn't take any hacks to do the cool stuff because the OS was designed from the ground-up to be able to do it.
