"... You people keep saying that we should just switch to Linux and troubles would be over... The problem is, the moment it loads, I'm completely and totally lost. I can't even upgrade the browser. I can't update to the latest driver. I can't even install a program that doesn't come with the updater. I don't understand files that don't do anything when you click on them. I don't know what folder/partition the files go in... When I ask a question they start with the command line crap like I'm some sort of code writer and get angry if I say "What you said didn't work"... I loaded Ubuntu, and Mint and ended up quitting because I had NO video after boot and don't know how to get to "Safe Mode" to load the driver after intalling Linux. Worked on it about 2 days and quit again... Linux will NEVER take the desktop till they make it more user friendly. It's beautiful software, but who can do anything with it beyond a boot up and writing a letter?"

There's only one UNIX-core OS that solves all your problems and makes all the complaints you have above vanish the moment you turn it on. It's also free. Way more people are using it than Linux, and they love it. They wouldn't trade it for anything.

So, you are saying that a previous XP machine that will install Ubuntu or Mint from a live CD will run OS X Mavericks?
