OSX is based on UNIX not LINUX. Their core kernels are about as different now as they are to Windows.

Why don't you look into it yourself? Don't expect me to do it for ya.
EVERYTHING is pretty much the same.
I think you're wrong. OS X is getting more game support than linux and has been for a while. Most videos I've seen of upcoming releases say... "coming out on Windows and Mac", that's if they support more than just Windows. I can't see how it's better, no way lol.

I quite like the look of this. I've used OS X for a while and though it looked good and was pretty smooth, I didn't like how it was all locked down. This might change that.
True, it will probably not have as much software available as Windows, but certainly everything you need for day-to-day stuff. True, it does look a bit like OS X. Is that a bad thing though? I thought OS X looked pretty good.
It even works on any PC. This would be interesting for system builders. You can finally offer the client something that works well, looks great (like OS X) AND is customizable (like Windows). Just using these two as an example cause they are the OS's that the average user knows most about. On top of that it's free, which will keep the total costs of a computer down.
I kind of want to try this some time.

Found this 'review'. Not a great video but it gives a nice overview of the OS:

LOL, all I am asking you to do is to give some reasonable evidence to back your argument, which you clearly can't - everything is an immature answer, one is clearly OSX and one is Linux...
EDIT: Here's a theme to make it look even more like OSX, we're getting closer.. but it's still Linux.
Code:
sudo apt-get install elementary-lion-theme

It's the features, not the look. But it also looks like OS X.
I don't see what the problem is?

*Irish Accent* Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Yeah, the Grub Rescue came up with:
Error: No such device [instert crapload of random numbers and letters here]
I gave it a Google search and basically I had to type a few commands into the Rescue thing. Thing is that I had to type those onto my hd1,1 (Drive 1, Partition 1) but it only showed my hd0,1 and it would not apply the commands to this drive.
Eerhhhhyeah, multiple times even
I eventually fixed it though, but I still don't have Luna/ Elementary OS on there. Glad I can get back into the Windows install though. For those wondering, this is what I needed to do:
> Boot from Windows disc
> Format my second HDD (with Luna on it)
> Install Windows on it
> Use the bootloader from the second install to boot into the original Windows install
> Download EasyBCD
> Remove all bootloaders
> Manually add a new Windows bootloader to the C: drive
> Format second HDD (removing the extra Windows install)
So yeah, not a very good experience. Maybe it'll work better if I install them on the same drive, as the bootloader will be on the same drive as both OSs.

Any idea as to why the bootloader wouldn't load either though? Is it because they were on different drives? :huh:
Not sure tbh but when I install 2 OS on 2 drives I usually connect just one drive and install windows on it, disconnect the drive and connect the 2nd drive and install linux on it, then connect both drives and boot into linux and use sudo update-grub which adds windows to the grub boot menu.
