But it's much better than trying to integrate Windows boxen into the
same.  A commercial *nix desktop being sold to the masses - I can't
really object to that, even if it's not something I'd use myself.  If
every Windows desktop in our network were magically replaced by an OSX
machine, I'd have a little party.

Now, if only it were being sold for PC hardware.
