Even I'd consider OS/X *IF* there was a native version of Open Office.

I have to admit that apps on OS/X often seem to look like someone paid
more attention to the UI.  For instance when we tested Sunbird on OS/X
the display of the data was accomplished with a single click and no
change in application focus while on Windows it requires a double click
and a dialog box (which then must be closed).  One wonders: "why?"

OS/X has Java, Kerberos, LDAP, SSH, CUPS, & DAV.  Basically everything
one need to exist happily on a network.  They even have GTK & .NET.
