I upgraded my laptop to the latest Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon a few days ago only to be greeted with an additional feel of polish and goodness. Read more for our mini preview.

What makes OSX a lot better than Vista? It eats tons of resources, it is not that fast, it does not have the games, and it is controlled by a company that is as closed and as tight as Microsoft.
And it wants to herd you in their way of doing things, where everything works transparently as long as you do it EXACTLY their way, but dissidence is VERY frowned upon. iTV streams Apple-formatted video from iTMS through an Apple Airport. The Airport uses encryption to impede streaming music from anything but iTunes. The iPod can only be managed from iTunes. The iPhone won't let you install any third party software, or even let you listen to your own music as a ringtone without paying them $1 for the privilege. iWork uses their own, proprietary, undocumented file formats, and deliberately precludes using OpenDocument.
In the end, their hardware is cute, and their software is extremely good looking, but they are as tightly controlling as they can afford to be, even more so than Microsoft.
