If you want to change the memory manager, only one module is affected. Changing it in Linux is far more complicated because it is all spaghetti down there.

as for Mac .. here is 1 reason why I mentioned it :

People can easily get infatuated with Mac .. it's like Pandora's charm .. even Larry Wall courted the OS : "Apple has always been, tried to be, at least, the arbiter of good taste" .
as far as usability is concerned .. I confess Mac is super-easy super-user-friendly (yet a GUI-jailed user-friendliness ) .. that it allows fast data transfer (usb , firewire .. ) .. that it offers a superfast (but also super-expolitable) Safari .. that it has a charming GUI .. Yet .. for some , an fvwm with an xsetroot -solid springgreen would outmatch all GUIs ..
