Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 vs OSX Leopard - Comparison Part 3

,----[ Quote ]
| In OS X the Dock performs similar functions to the Ubuntu panel. The OS X 
| Dock can also be manipulated as in Ubuntu. The only obvious difference is the 
| Dock has a reflective 3D look with the icons which can now be stacked and 
| comes with applications and widgets which you would have to get separately in 
| Ubuntu.    
| 
| So first off, if you want to make your Ubuntu experience into something more 
| familiar you will need to get add-ons and customize a little.

Review: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon takes on Mac OS X Leopard for the OS of the Year

| Today we have a technological cage match involving two operating systems, 
| both UNIX- based, both mature, both with passionate detractors and even more 
| passionate defenders, and both released just a week apart. I'm talking, of 
| course, about Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), with its final release on October 
| 18, and Apple' s Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which was available for purchase on 
| October 26.

Apple users: as far removed from Woz as possible

| It does not take much to get the Apple user community up in arms - just a 
| mention that there may be a defect in Mac OS X is sufficient to invite abuse, 
| ridicule and plain silliness as though there is even  one operating system in 
| this world of ours which is perfect.
