One reason why macs are so efficient is because they have complete
control over hardware and software and they have no need to make the
Mac OS work with anything that is not from their stable.

That way even Wincedows is a bit better , atleast they are not
restricting anyone in choice of hardware, the fact that most hardware
would be Wincedows compatible is another matter.

Imagine if Opensource folks had control over the device and the
software - it would be wow. And i thing in the phone segment that is
what is happening

openmoko is an example, as there are others.

@ all
One reason for the mail was to provoke debate ;-)

i would like to repeat i really like Ubuntu  and what they have done
to Linux, basically make it accessible. And in a way life is easier
because i know how it works.
