OS X is so much better that you must be sub-normal not to see it. You have a real Unix system, with an excellent GUI development system, with all the libraries you need. You have transparent OpenCL and MMX acceleration of common mathematical tasks - without even having to code for it because of Clang and LLVM and Grand Central Dispatch.

Best thing of all, it doesn't come with Flash. It has an excellent PDF reader so you can avoid Adobe's shitware called Acrobat.

So go ahead, play with your new toy OS, the wonderful Wndows 8. It comes custom with many ones so various intelligence and law enforcement agencies can plant child porn on your machine, so their mafia friends can steal your banking information, and host spam servers. It's a win-win.
