It sounds like you really like your TabWorks program, but that is not part of Windows, it's just an app. You have to compare apples to apples.

ABF, the issue is control. With Windows, everything is done for you. Which is nice if you don't want to mess with it. But I want to know where stuff is. I want to have complete control over everything, and that is not something you get with Windows. It is, however, what you get with Linux, and since it's based on Unix, I would guess OS X would be the same.

I have heard nothing but fantastic things about OS X. I have fallen in love with Linux over the last year or so, so that is what I really want to learn and become proficcient with. But if that wasn't the case, I would much rather have a Mac than run Windows. XP is pretty darn good (stability-wise), but it still limits you sooo much in control.

You say Linux's X-Window system is blah, but I have seen desktops with a calendar, weather forecast, and mp3 player built in. I don't mean they are programs that sit on top of the desktop, they are embedded into your wallpaper. Think you can do that in Windows? And that's just a cute, little change. Everything in an OS like that is completely customizable. You just have to learn how.
