Re: Apple
If Linux isn't 'refined enough' then certainly neither are Windows nor OS-X.
For the record: ALL OSes are steaming piles of digital poo.
Which ever one you pick you have to be willing to get your hands (and/or your conscience) dirty keeping the whole steaming pile up and running. That's the way it is.
By all means prefer one (or more) over others, but don't make it a religious issue, and don't pretend that your preferred pile of poo stinks any less than anyone else's, because it doesn't - it just stinks differently, but stink it surely does, even if you have got so used to it you don't really notice any more.
