Comment Come on, he's not doing Unix better than anyone... (Score 0) 1073
...because Darwin is not Unix. And while we're at it, Linux isn't Unix either, but getting pretty damn close, in a way that only the die-hard indoctrinated Unix grannies aren't taking it seriously.
Anyone who has ever used Darwin, tried to compile some software on it and looked effortlessly for the X-Server (until noticing that XFree86 must be installed separately in the Form of XDarwin) knows that Steve's claim about OS X being the greatest Unix of all time, is utter bullshit. It's not just no branded Unix, its almost unusable either. For Unix users, that is. And - gasp - Quartz is an even slower dog than X11 has ever been.
I think the old proverb is in full effect here: "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."
