"We were on our way to a one-OS world (from a consumer desktop point of view)"
Perhaps from only the ignorant consumer's point of view.
"OSX stepped up and brought UNIX to the masses."
Or charged for large portions of NeXTSTEP and FreeBSD amid a market of other Unix-like OSes. Fact is, without the Cult of Apple behind it, OS X would have been just another OS the average, ignorant consumer never heard of.
"I'm glad Apple gave the world a choice"
Their walled garden is oh so pretty.

Submission + - Portal 2 Gets Release Date (examiner.com)
AndrewGOO9 writes: After what has seemed like an eternity since Valve initially announced a sequel to their lauded puzzle title Portal, a release date has finally been attached to the game.

Either way, mark your calendars for February 9th, 2011 and in the meantime, best brush up on thinking with portals.
