Actually, the Mac has been pretty good at at least *one* thing - setting
the standards for user interfaces and usability.

This will be the first Unix that will actually *have* such an interface
and be this easy to use. It is bound to make a difference.

I know that this is not really an OS issue - from our perspective, it is a
distro and/or X11 issue. But it is an issue, nevertheless.
