funny, to think that you’d even compare an open source product to an apple. Sure, open source is good, but just like linux or unix, it can’t really beat the software apple produces.

Um, UNIX isn’t open source, Linux is an open-source clone of UNIX.  And OSX is built on top of BSD, another open-source UNIX clone.
