Hey! Steve!
I am still waiting for you to apologize to teachers all across the United States for your off-the-cuff comments. Believe me, as my powerbook starts to show its age and I shop around, your uninformed comments really do make me consider buying a linux pre-loaded laptop instead of a MacBook.
Maybe you should watch this and see if it impacts your thinking:
MacNN | Jobs to get "Rotten Apple' award without apology
Okay Mr. Jobs... the ball is in your court. Years ago, Apple decided the Education Market was its core business. In these days of iPods and iPhones, you may be forgetting that a huge percentage of your computer business is STILL teachers, former teachers, and students who like what they use at school and pay the premium to have the same thing at home.
Since my machine can run any UNIX application I would ever need, why would I ever think about putting GNU/Linux on my Mac? Well, my little 12" Powerbook is a very solid little machine and if she is still chugging along in the day when she is just too slow to effectively run current software in OSX, I would like to have the option to run a different Operating System.
