I have, mainly due to lack of money, moved towards Linux and away from 
Macintosh, although
my main programming work occurs on a Mac PPC.

What I see is that both Mac and Microsoft are going for more and more 
restrictive stuff
on the basis of "goof-proofing" everything. This should not surprise us, 
as this is also the
approach of the British government; over-regulation on the theory that 
people need protecting
(mainly from themselves).

Ubuntu seems to be going the same way.

I suppose, in due course, we will end up with a separation of species:

1.  The Eloi machines for mind-dumbing content delivery and control.

2.  The Morlock machines for heavy programming.
