The company expressed concern that to the extent its minority market share has caused software developers to question Apple's prospects in the PC space, developers could be less inclined to develop software for Apple products, and instead feel more inclined to devote their resources to developing software for the larger Windows market or growing Linux market. Here is the 10-K form in question.

GNU/Linux is not forced on anyone? Hah. As if. Look at yourself.
You obviously don't know what Fink is, though you've provided the link to it yourself. Fink is a package manager for a lot of open-source software for OS X. Think ports from FreeBSD, or portage from Gentoo. It doesn't modify the software to feel/look/behave like native OS X software. That which runs under X11 will still run under X11, and still look/feel/behave like ass.

See the start of the URL I gave " APPLE.COM " , cant be more real mac then that , its not because you see a screenshot that its going to give you any insight on what FINK is , its a *project* that make Open Source package tailored to work specifically . integrate , feel and use the look of MAC OS X.
Your not answering a real MAC user according to your futile categorization of what a rela mac user is , your answering someone who claim that there aint that much free software on MAC OS X hence why he is not using it, the URL you gave just show him as right.
"People use certain software because they want to get a task done with minimum hassle"
They use certain software because thats what they know or whats availaible.
"not because it fits a silly ideology that some Free-software nuts have tried shoving down everyone's throats. "
silly ideology die on there own , there is no need to oppose it , to fear it , to rant about it , its silly ... Wich tend to proove that you dont know the meaning of the word you use and add to that the fact that you dont know or understand the subject you discuss at all.
GNU/Linux is not forced on anyone , People use it because it work for them and they make it run on other architecture to learn and because there able to do it and its also legal to do so.
There is nothing free as in cost made by Apple , what you use you paid for it if it came from Apple.
I aint your friend.
