	802.11/wireless support is my favorite example.

	On Mac OS X, you put the card into the slot and "it just works".

	On Linux, you have to deal (possibly) with older kernels that 
have to be updated/recompiled, devices, etc.


	Another good/related example is switching from static to 
dynamic IP addressing - such as when you go from work to home (or 
vice versa).  On Mac OS X, you just plug in and it works - you don't 
have to do ANYTHING.   On Linux, it's a MAJOR pain.

	What version of Mac OS X Server?  (No -'s here).
