Which it has. If the open source community would get its act
together and make a desktop product that competes well it would

I know it will do no good but I will say one more time, Linux
is not in the "market", it is FREE.

It is in the market - it comes on computers you can buy.

Yes, I know. That makes up some of that 1.5% crap I am always
hearing about. Aside from pirating, 100% of Windows and OSx
that is out there was sold in the market in one way or another
and none of it was free. There is no rationale for saying that
Linux in the market.

OSX is now free but can't be installed on non Mac hardware.

Well, OS X *updates* are free. You cannot get OS X, though, outside of a
package deal where you get hardware and software - the full system.

While we are that I have downloaded different images in order to try it in
virtualbox and none worked. Seems that it is easier to install it on bare
metal (non Mac) then in VM....

OS X runs fine in Parallels on a Mac... so you can run older versions of OS
X.

While I have iMac in the office I just wanted to try it in VM, but alas
virtualbox support is very lousy.

From what I have seen and read, VirtualBox in general does not work as well
as Parallels and VMWare... but it is also free.
