How about comparing a PC runnings Linux vs. a Mac running "MacOS".

Fine - Mac OS X needs less configuration and has a better UI.
Isn't it Linus Torvalds who said that this is what Linux should have
become?
Linux is fine and free and has all the horsepower. There are just too
many variants.
And Mac OS X has many layers above the Unix kernel that make it do all
sorts of things that Linux will not do or not as elegantly. Although eg
Ubuntu will do for end users. Mac OS X has a very well designed user
interface, something not easily copied.

As long as one actually tests different solutions that's fine with me -
there are different tastes.
