Dude you are wrong there.
OSex is crap.
And its proprietory, and you have to pay money for it.
I get better and more advanced user interface out of Linux distros.
They are customizable and more variety to suit jobs in hand.
Also, you get the source code to do things the way you want it,
and not get sued for it unlike appil suing BSD developers.
