So clearly while you think i should just use Windows, i know i shouldn't for good reason. Your logic is severly flawed... And really, when it comes down to picking another OS other than Linux - MacOSX beats out windows everytime for proaudio - so windows would never even come into the picture in the first place. Using Wine for my particular use is infinitely smarter than switching to Windows - and that doesn't make me some 'closet windows lover' - but calling me that - makes you sound like a chump. The fact is it isn't the windows-version of the software that i am favoring ~ it's the software itself. If Native Instruments, Linnplug, etc had linux ports i would use them, by the same token - if i had a way of running the AU plugin (Mac) version in linux - i would just as likely use them. Wrapping the windows VST (.dll) works well - so i do that.

Have you ever heard of 'Rhapsody'? (the operating system) - if you knew anything about the history of MacOSX - you would know that they originally had it running on both Intel and PPC - YEARS before Apple ever migrated from PPC to intel(in the late 90s). MacOSX wasn't designed to be run only on PPC (os9 was).. - it's early development happened on both PPC and Intel at the same time. (obviously, Apple must have had long time plans to switch away from PPC). So they are totally different, both in the underlying system components, how they were developed and the H/W they were designed to run on... In fact, if i remember correctly OpenStep (which is what MacOSX is 'largely' based on) was ported to PPC, but originally supported x86, as well as a few other Architectures.
..anyway the relevance is that while you made the claim that X just means 10 - in fact it signifies much more than that, and the names do correspond (macOS X and XNU). The same is true of NT - NT didn't appear next to Windows until they were using the NT kernel in Windows NT 3.1... and the NT kernel wasn't even originally designed for Windows, but instead MS designed it for OS/2, for IBM.
