anything that goes into Linux can instantly be used by competitors, hence the best features almost always get put into Linux last.

It depends on what you define as "best features." Linux gets a lot of features before any commercial OS, but they tend to be the kind of things the geek-boys like to code for themselves. Popular features introduced by Mac or Windows -- especially support for new hardware -- are where Linux is necessarily playing catch-up.
