Unfortunately they simply couldn't make it fast enough to compete any  
more..

The only gripe I have against MacOS X, is that Apple tend not to back- 
port bug fixes to previous releases, so if you want the latest OpenGL  
libraries or anything, you need to upgrade your OS to the latest  
branch. They also hold back on fixes for a lot of non-security issues  
until the next point release in the current tree, which can be annoying.

How ever it's quite nice to use and you don't have to figure out how  
to make gnome work..
