I remember Smalltalk, and when I first saw a Mac, Smalltalk is the first
thing that came to mind.  I'm not the only one to see the resemblance or
mention this link.

I haven't seen any objective measurement.

Virtually all Windows applications are desktop applications.  Virtually all
UNIX applications are not.

No, you cannot.  Nikon Scan does not run on FreeBSD.

A "similar" application won't do; it has to be the _same_ application.  Like
Photoshop on the Mac vs. Photoshop on Windows: same application, not just a
"similar" application.

They aren't as entertaining, though.  Angry young males know when they are
being manipulated, but they are so unable to control their emotions that
they can't do anything about it.  Idiots simply don't know.
