"...I'm strictly an OS X user now, and proud of it" It's just that kind of arrogance that keeps more people on "the dark side" from coming over to OS X. The Unix-based OS is demonstrably better in many ways than both XP Pro and OS 9, but arrogance and false pride are not good selling points, nor is a blindness to the many problems still inherent in OS X that need improvement. It sounds too much like some kind of Nixonian dogma: "OS X, love it or leave it." It alienates, rather than recruits newbies.
