You're contradicting yourself. Wait no... you're just babbling. How can you expect an actual debate if you're not even going to write in a legible manner?

i do have to hand it to apple on the "user friendly" unix desktop computer

Umm Linux of 7 years ago is a different beast then todays linux. obviously you got a moot point since it was 7 years ago that you tried it other wise you wouldn't be spreading your FUD.
Please explain to us all how linux sucks on the dekstop, seems to work fine here.
Sandbox, you mean like the Jobs experience with no games and just fancy eye candy powered by overpriced PC hardware. Thanks but no thanks.
I don't wtf you said there. As for my linux usage I've used it as a web/shoutcast server since 2000. I've only fully switched to desktop linux about two years ago when I tried out OpenSuse 11 and Linux Mint 7. Those two were enough to get rid of XP/Vista. Now with Mint 8 there's no need for Vista/7 unless the kids reboot into 7 to play games.
As for me I could care less what OS I use. I use what is the best for my needs at the time. So far Linux has the ball.

Whats Linux missing that the average user needs? I've switched 4 people to OS 11 and Mint 7 and with just a few minutes to show them how to install software they no longer have any need for windows.
Now for those that just browse the Internet, check email or just visit social web crap Linux has everything plus some that they will ever need and for the time being its way safer.
You would never want to use Vista I have used all of Microsoft's OS and this version is the worst by far.
There is no way Vista is worse than ME. No way.
I got me to work for me Vista crashed constantly
windows should name their next os "oranges"

Yeah... IMO, ME was the most garbage OS I ever used. Win 2000 and 3.1.1 are still my favorite Win distros.
As for Linux, certain distros are super easy to set up and run... hell, you don't even have to install them to use them.

Ignore him. He's not here to debate, he's here to troll. He still won't back up points he was repeating at the start of this thread, and has been insulting people that disagree with him. My guess is that his son (that he's mentioned a couple of times) is telling him this nonsense, and he's just repeating it here without any idea what it means and without any evidence to back it up.
I don't think Linux really has much use on desktop PCs. It's free and gets the job done most of the time, but it's still plagued with obscure problems that prevent laymen users installing it and using it with confidence. It's good for servers though. I installed the latest release of Ubuntu on my desktop and it wouldn't recognise the DVD drive for some odd reason, considering the release before that recognised it just fine. I installed it on my netbook and it wasn't compatible with the GPU, meaning I had no display. Problems like this mean that many users would be screwed, as it means entering the terminal and fiddling around to fix the issue. Not something most people can or want to do.
i've been using Apple since 1995... i'm so used to it that I can't even think of buying another computer...
although I use windows alot in work (I use a specific software that only run's in PeeCee)
this is my apple "collection"
once you own a mac you won't change...

I changed. Though I still regularly use my Ipod Touch, but it keeps breaking on me. It's great when it works though.

That sucks, you can't return it huh?
Dell sent a new computer to us
And wouldnt let us return it
The monitor was mechanically/electronically defective...
So they sent a 3rd party repair man
You should have seen how bad he trashed the computer just through his work watching him
Needless to say after a LONG fight dell took the comp back
Gave a new one (also defective, got returned!)
Long story short we got a macbook. and another. and another.
