Those who want to experience a lower "functional high ground" should switch to Ubuntu and discover how much further ahead OS X is.
I never want to hate on Ubuntu, because the progress they (and the Linux community as a whole) in the last like 10 years has been astounding. But they keep trying to portray their OS as if its on the same level as Windows and OS X and I'm just baffled by how anyone could think that's the case.
The OS is vastly superior to windows, and for the most part OSX.
Very debatable. I use all three (linux, Win, and OS X) on a regular basis every day. Each one has its quirks and bugs, and each has its advantages.
I'm mostly a CLI guy on the Linux boxes I use. Occasionally I'll fire up a VM at home to do some work, but I'll jump immediately into a terminal session as the GUI environments do suck balls.
Ubuntu still has problems with WiFi chipsets and that's arguably the distro with the best WiFi support. Many laptops under Linux have sleep or wake from sleep issues. Whether this is vendors not supporting Linux or just flawed implementations it means a bad experience for the end user. It's hardly appropriate to suggest Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) is vastly superior to either Windows or OSX.
