no pointless software.....
Linux offers all of this too - after all, OSX is based on Darwin, which is based on FreeBSD, which is based on UNIX... and Linux is also based on Unix [well, a rewrite-from-scratch of it]. Plus I can run Windows inside it, à la Parallels.
I'm not saying that Macs are bad, and they're pretty darn well built machines, but they are just regular PCs with regular PC components, with a proprietary *nix-based OS. It's a well put together OS, but not really ideal for power users or corporate environments [where much of the software used is in-house - why buy a Mac and dual boot when you can buy / build a PC for a lot cheaper?]
