5 Things Linux Does Better Than Mac OS X
Were it not for Windows' long-standing installed base and overwhelming market dominance, it seems unlikely that anyone would argue seriously for the merit of the operating system, plagued as it is by high prices, security problems and vendor lock-in.

If you're trying to decide on a platform for your business, these factors are worth keeping in mind.
