AB:

I heart my Mac :) , no really, couldn't be happier.

I have Ubuntu dual booting and all, but everything I want to do in 
Ubuntu is imminently more doable in Mac OS X. However, to hear the 
benchmarkers, Linux should outperform the Mac 
(http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2436)... not sure I'm 
buying that, but, could be.

As for impact on Linux, hmm... maybe put some pressure on Linux 
developers to improve their UI's. Oh, I know - ask Linus, he's a 
Powerbook user.
