I'd like to use a Mac OS, but I don't have one yet. Someday.
Why might I ask? Windows and Linux can do much much much more than Mac OS.

You done it two.
The Ubuntu operating system is to replace its application menus with a "head-up display" (HUD) box. Users control the HUD interface by typing in the command they want carried out. Developers of the Linux-based software say they will initially offer the HUD as an option, allowing users to "hide" their menu bars. They say that using the HUD is faster than "mousing through a menu" and makes applications feel more powerful.
The changes were revealed on a blog posted by Mark Shuttleworth, the lead designer at Canonical - the London-based firm behind Ubuntu. "It's smart, because it can do things like fuzzy matching and it can learn what you usually do so it can prioritise the things you use often," he wrote. "When you've been using it for a little while it seems like it's reading your mind, in a good way." To operate the HUD, users can guess the name of the command they want, rather than having to memorise each one.
For example, if someone types "settings" into the panel it can work out that the command they want is "preferences". Mr Shuttleworth admits people may find it harder to discover the full functionality of a program if they do not have a menu system to hunt around, but he says other benefits make up for this loss. "We observe people staying more engaged and more focused on their task when they can keep their hands on the keyboard all the time." He added that removing menus also saved spaced on the computer screen.
Historical relic?
your oculus sinister is better than mine? Says who!?!
I have snow leopard... Works ok for me.
I use XP, but that will soon change.
I am going to buy a Notebook, my lap top needs to be retired and I don't need anything spectacular....
I also use iIOS 5 on my phone. I would love to own a MAC now but I don't have a sugar daddy.
Kubuntu wasn't for me, very limited apps available (though it beats Windows and Mac hands down......).
Did some digging and learned how to get rid of Unity in Ubuntu 11.10, it's really simple. We're still using Gnome 3 but there's no getting around that, support for Gnome 2 is quickly disappearing so everyone will eventually have to migrate to 3.
