RE: Linux
There are a couple good things about windows, like how every file is binary and can be edited with anything. I also like file extensions, because they're easier to glance at than looking up the mime type of the file.

The only good thing about Mac here is its graphics capibilities. If you've ever used a mac, you'll know its absolutely beautiful. The problem with macs though is for one, they're very limited. Also, they are radical. Its hell to just start using a mac, since things are so different. (see: dragging things around)

Linux definately has all the power you want. Its completely componentized so you can change any aspect of it you don't like. With the creation of X, programs can now have a graphical way of doing things. An X window manager is the program that draws such things as menus and titlebars and icons, and there are hundreds and hundreds of these to choose from (GNOME and KDE being most popular.)

With the recent advancements of graphical support in linux, things have gotten closer and closer to the graphical power of Mac. So, once surpassed, the only loser here will be Mac. But windows will still be eating the graphical dust.
