I would add to this list:
Why partition a disk drive for multiple OSs when it is just as easy to boot from different disk drives with no risk of file schema corruption with possible serious consequences.
The same is true of "invisible" disks being present which are not addressed by an alternative boot operating system.
Anything Windows can do well, the Apple rendition of Linux does far better. Anything Windows can do, with a few exceptions, Linux can do better. Except Microsoft specific software, of course.
But Apple releasing the best of their application suite for free on Linux? Now that is a thought. What is so propriety apart from Mac's equivalent of Gnome - OS X. Can I run it on Linux? I heard this week that I can. In the same way that Mac can immitate Windows (shudder the thought), Windows can imitate a Mac. Emulation software has been around for a while. But OS X - possibly a few propriety Apple graphics or something probably does run under Linux.
Lets go look.
