If you're a pro. photog. or graphic artist then you should have bought a Mac long ago!! MacOS is traditionally the primary OS in the graphics world.
What about SGI? They PWN the market in media. Graphics and movies are SGI, simple. Those machines make Macs seem like they run on DOS (You know, Apple DOS? ;) ) I use SUSE Slackware and Debian and free BSD, sometimes a few others, but most of the time SUSE, but let me tell you, I'd love to have an SGI. I'd stay with SUSE of course but that would be fun to toy with and they can run Linux anyway ;) Though I'd want to play with IRIX first. Just to play with it.
MickySoft has taken many ideas for Vista from both Linux and Apple
You're not kidding, I've seen some of the things they are planning and it's like.. Hold up Linux has been doing that a LONG time....
I really have no high expectations from an MS version of color matching. Also note the critical responses to the article wrt this.
If anything could get me to go back to MickySoft, this IS it!!!!
Why think in extremes? No OS has everything, and OSX happens to be most interesting for color management from a commercial viewpoint. I would certainly keep Linux as my main OS - it has great advantages unmatched by others.
