How in the hell can it be overrated if it's free. Really now, I just looked up a Mac G5 with my PC's same specs, and it's 2200 dollars. My PC cost only 1000. Is it worth paying 1200 dollars more JUST to have Apple's operating system?

sciencectn: PPC != i386
The way that a Power PC-based processor works is very different than a traditional 32-bit i386 processor. You can't compare the clock speeds (which is a myth anyhow) because it's like comparing Apples and oranges (pun intended).

Uhhh, alwayschooseford, OS X has hardware support just as good as Linux. Probably even better except for non-Mac CPUs, video cards, and motherboards.

Mac is very straight forward, but fairly powerful, but Linux takes a lot more tech knowledge to fully use it's power.

Nice! How did you make water wave on releasing the window. I could enable that in Beryl (option called "shiver wave"), but in not in compiz fusion. Thanks!

Mac: a walk in the park
Linux: different
lol whut are you saying?

OS X costs money and provides the same OpenGL abilities as Linux.
And in fact, OpenGL IS used for a lot of non-video-game visualizations such as medical / engineering / etc.
-
OS X has comparable capabilities with quartz and open GL. And numerous scientific applications have been made and continue to be made using such. Applications that beautifully display molecular crystalline structures, or applications that quickly provide visual feedback for scientific measurements. Just nothing as conspicuous as this demo.

FreeBSD and OS X are NOT "Linux-like". FreeBSD, OS X, and Linux, are "Unix-Like". Also "no hardware support" is BS.

have you ever heart of osx86 ??
Please read the original article listed in digg as to why this is not for general use, just experimental development.
