Hello,

sorry for "butting in", but I'm just curious...

Anyway, how does MacOS X (both 10.4 and 10.5) compare to Windows (2000, 
XP, Vista etc.) on the same hardware?

And Linux to (Free-/Net-/whatever) BSD?

No flamebait, I'm just wondering whether the performance gain is worth 
the learning effort required for Linux or BSD compared to the Mac.

Sincerely,
