Perhaps because Linsux is just (failed) Unix regurgitated. I mean every
Linux still has 6 or so copies of getty running, still has the stupid
ass init.d/rc.d crap, still has sh or bash which compared to WSH is
crap, still has X. Talk about lack of innovation... At least Apple
innovated and evolved beyond Unix.
