It seems that some well-known users are switching from MacOS to Linux, often after a lifetime of involvement with Apple's products. From Tim Bray's blog: "[...] as I stood in the Apple store last weekend and drooled over the beautiful, beautiful hardware, all I could think was how much work it would take to twiddle with the default settings, install third-party software, and hide all the commercial tie-ins so I could pretend I was in control of my own computer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye Apple isn't beautiful anymore."

Nothing interesting about the switch, or about any switch for that matter. OS X doesn't meet his needs so he switched to Linux. The only interest this will generate will be a bunch of trolls calling the switchers a "tool" because OS X is the best OS in the whole world and switching is just stupid and of course Linux sucks because it is not a desktop OS and the usual osnews banter. It doesn't matter that some people's needs are different from theirs, and God forbid, Linux fits their needs better. Speaking about men biting dogs, I guess I should also post a blog about how I switched from the most popular operating system on the planet to Linux. Now that should garner interest.
