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.

OSX uses X11 too. so what was your point again?
OS X has X11 for compatibility, but the number of mac os X applications using it is really low. Most of them are unix applications that typical mac users do not use.
"Native" mac applications do not depend on X; On Tiger at least, X11 is not installed by default, and I bet nobody but developers and open source people install it.
