...is the OS that their friends run. Because, it's going to be those friends that get stuck answering the countless questions during the first several weeks.
This is so true. A friend of mine, who's not into computers at all, used mine for a while until she got an ibook. I use XFCE on mine, and she thought that was easier, and there were more "clear lines" than os x. Me I suspect this was mostly because of habit, and it illustrates how people don't like to switch to something else once they've got used to something. This also applied to me, cause I had to be the admin of this machine for a while, and for a GNU/Linux guy OS X is not always that easy to figure out (fx the weirdo folder-structure... I still don't get it).
