Your sarcasm has misfired.  I like MacOS X because of the applications.
And because I can get a shell windows underneath that acts close enough to
UNIX if it's not pure BSD.  But then maybe I just don't know about UNIX or
NetBSD to appreciate it over MacOS X [note extremely heavy sarcasm].

My Mac has MacOffice X, iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, ...  which all are much higher
quality than I get on NetBSD.  And the fact I don't have to fight with XF86
is big bonus as well.
