poll: how many Linux users would rather use Mac OS
Poly-poly man
Certainly Macs are attractive - I use a Tiger iBook for my daily work. The Linux desktop has been slow advancing, probably more due to psychological fud than any real technical drawbacks, though I think I'm seeing signs that it is becoming more acceptable to general public. I hope that's real and that Linux starts pushing Windows off desktops.

Mac's move to Intel may ultimately make Mac's a much easier choice for the common folk. At least right now, they have a little less fear of Mac than Linux, and the Intel move may give them even more reasons to feel comfortable (the possibility of running Windows apps through VMWare or other virtualization, for example).
On the other hand, Linux is becoming less of a bogeyman. There are more and more books that are focused directly on the home user thinking of switching, and of course all that advice doesn't hurt in the office either. I do have customers who use Linux desktops, and wouldn't mind seeing more.
However, if Linux on the desktop can't catch fire, a world of Mac desktops and Linux servers would be a great improvement over what we have now, wouldn't it?
