Ivan Krstic' critique of the One Laptop Per Child Project has made its ripples around the pond of the intertubes. Apart from the obvious part where it criticises a major project from an insider's point of view, it also had a few other remarks that caught people's attention - most notably the admission that despite his ability to do Linux kernel hacking, his main development laptop is a Macintosh running Mac OS X.

I'm perfectly happy with my Linux desktop. Modern Linux desktops are way more powerfull than the commercial desktops. While some years ago I had to do some kernel driver hacking to make things work, my current hardware works fine from the installation CD's.
My only complaint is video codecs, but for that OS X is not necessarily a solution.
