Rather then attempt to go down that road, why don't you tell me some of things that you think you can do on your OS that you can't do on OS X?
Pretty much if you have the know how if you can do it on another *nix system you can do it on Mac OS X.
If I have to I can even run most (all?) Intel based systems on Mac OS X under a virtual machine.
In fact Apple doesn't restrict a damn thing on my computer. If I don't want to play by the App Store games I don't have to.... And to the paranoid I'm pretty sure I'll never have to. Apple has no need and no desire to lock down OS X (They have iOS for that). They do have a responsibility to provide a reliable secure system though. Also as for the App Store... It's Apples store... they can do whatever the hell they want with it. Oh I for one agree with sandboxing apps. I don't think Apple has it all figured out right now, and I think this is the reason they pushed the date back. Ultimately they will try to find a balance between developers and users, and based on history they will error on the side of pissing off developers rather then users. Developers will complain as they have for the past >20 years about how Apple doesn't respect them or some such nonsense.
