Right, so who cares? There's plenty of room in this world for a
little diversity of OSes.

To a degree, that's certainly true. However, that said, if there
is any company in the world that understands what desktop users need
(and want) more than any other, it would be Apple. Therefore, if
there is any company in the world that has the best possible chance
of being able to deliver on having the full power of Unix under the
hood, but being able to hide that behind a really good GUI for
desktop users, that would be Apple.

As someone living in Belgium, and about two hours away from the
country in question, I can safely say that it is *NOT*
"Niederlanden". Most appropriately, it would probably be
"Nederlands".
Moreover, since modern beer was invented/discovered by a Belgian
monk, I can safely say that it is not spelled "bear". At least, I
have to assume that you meant a fermented alcoholic beverage, as
opposed to a large member of the Ursine family of mostly vegetarian
quadrupeds.
