If you lock down Linux to a limited amount of packages and charge £1000
to £2000 a box you will very quickly match OSX for looks and usability.
But Linux isn't locked down, you are free to choose what the GUI looks
like and what distro/packages you install. The EEE PC has shown how easy
it is to get Linux usable for the masses and at £250. Imagine what it
would be like at £2000!
OSX is a great OS and GUI but it is expensive and limited compared to
Linux and its vast number of applications.
