So I just bought my first Mac, and now I just returned my first Mac...gave it 12 of the full 14 day return window

You bought a Mac, expecting to run it like Windows... and returned it because it was not a Windows PC. Brilliant. Makes lots of sense. NOT. Your statement that you set up VM Fusion in Boot Camp, then that OSX is a shell over "what's left of a UNIX OS is just hokey and crippled" shows what little you know. OSX is a full implementation of UNIX™, one of four certified to use the UNIX trade mark. Not crippled, not hokey. IF you know how to access and use it... which is quite easy... from both Lion and Mountain Lion. But you just didn't bother to find out how. And why, why, why, to Mac people rave about Mac getting thing that Window has been doing for years as if Mac just invented it?...It just shows Mac uses have no real awareness of other computers and so have no other point of reference...

Most of us are very fluent in Windows... we use Windows machines daily at work. You are the ignorant one... you demonstrate it with your post. You don't know HOW to use a Mac.

Your statement that you set up VM Fusion in Boot Camp

That one of his statements actually makes sense. Fusion can run Windows from a Boot Camp partition within OS X as if it were a virtual hard drive. Some features, like snapshots, are of course not available. Fusion will also suck a Boot Camp partition into a virtual hard drive, kind of like the P2V in the enterprise VMWare systems. I so love that feature at work, "Server X is having hardware problems, it's gonna die soon! Don't worry, just P2V and chuck the hardware."

Now OS X not being full UNIX, that was a hokey statement in itself. Have you seen the list of OS X Unix software over at MacPorts?
