The MAJOR drawback ot macs,
lack of freeware and plethora of programs.
Face it, people write for Windows. I can d-load all
the free programs i could ever want whereas with Apple you
either buy it or use an illegal crack version.
That’s no longer the case with OS X.
Under all the glitzy GUI, OS X presents a API for Unix programmers that is a very good parallel to BSD API’s.
Porting over a lot of the FSF/open-source stuff that runs on BSD is not difficult at all. The vast majority of the GNU tools are right there, right now.
