I haven't touched a windows box in many years. I've never used vista or windows 7.

Maybe you should give Windows 7 a chance. I use a Mac at home, and I really like Windows 7 at work.

None of those are remotely Unixy from a user perspective.

Neither the iPhone nor WebOS ever expose a filesystem to the user. Neither Android nor WebOS expose Unix to App developers. Android doesn't even present a real Unix system to the OS developers!
