There's one major answer. Third party commercial software. But other than that, linux has it all.

For those guys who clammored for macOS for all computers for the longest time, Linux delivers. Apple seems fine being a niche. So let them have it.

Have you ever even been to apple.com?

Are you even distantly aware of Apple’s super mouse?

It reads like an advertisement for why Apple reactionaries are so wrong?

The one click mouse is such a 90s argument about Apple.

Bump for later.

Because having a Mac is your ticket into a certain bar in Australia!

I would seriously consider switching to linux if there was a quicktime plugin and iTunes version for it. Everything else is great, but no iTunes support and not being able to watch all the videos on the internet is kind of a deal killer for me.

I'm a regular Fedora Core user. Never had one problem with it.

My Windows workstation is another issue altogether...

Why Mac? PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Why the Mac OS defaults to one mouse button (though it has supported and made use of two button mice for over 15 years now):

1. Programmers on Mac OS must assume that the user has only one button and may not have two, so this forces them to put commands in the menu bar at the top of the screen - not bury them ten levels deep in context menus and make them otherwise inaccessable.

2. Ever try to teach grandma to use a computer? Or work tech support for newbies? “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?” “Left click or right click?”

Yeah, it gets really annoying for user and instructor. Having one default button gets around that and reduces support costs.

I’ll stick with XP pro the greatest OS I have ever had.

Brace yourself...anything less than a glowing review for Macs is considered "FUD" and results in flames and negative comments for the original poster.

I got criticized once for posting that Macs did a given task somewhat better than PCs; my compliment wasn't complimentary enough.

For those guys who clammored for macOS for all computers for the longest time, Linux delivers. Apple seems fine being a niche. So let them have it.

Linux seems fine in it's niche too - as an operating system for servers. It's not ready for widespread desktop usage.

[DesScorp]

My only problem with Apple is their habit of abandoning low-end customers every few years. Every company needs an entry level computer. But Steve thinks that reduces the desirability of the Apple brand, which is basically a luxury brand.

Macintosh…Help me understand why

Someone who has to ask is someone who hasn't bothered to investigate and, so, is almost beyond help.

[Petronski]

Why would I buy a really expensive laptop with JUST ONE MOUSE BUTTON??!!!

A-friggin-men!

Linux is a hobby, not an OS.
