I'm more for <abbr title="Getting Things Done">GTD</abbr> than beauty, I must admit; otherwise I'd have bought myself a Mac ages ago. ;) The things that make OSX more interesting than just being a cool and different-looking desktop are the functions, the way the programs interact and integrate, the way Apple seem to have thought through a lot of the processes. And it looks like the move to Intel is their greatest yet; I believe it opens a new ball-park for independent, even amateur developers who want to spread the wealth using universal binaries for Mac. We'll see if I get a MacBook. I'm attending a Mac-seminar later this week to see if it'll give me what I'd like out of photography. Thing is, it's not easy getting hold of a MacBook to try it out.

OS X 10.0.x was an open beta, just like the first release of Vista is. But it all comes down to what you like to run for desktop! OS X is open for beta for developers (of course).
