psyjax, hope your post wasn't pointed toward my post as if it is, then my post missed the point entirely. I was trying to point out that OSX is easier to use than Windows, but yet much more powerful because of the UNIX underbelly and if you want to get to the roots of your machine you can, unlike in Windows.

I understood what you said and I agree, It's just that I have always abhored the term "dumbed down". I don't think the MacOS has ever been dumbed down, nor windows for that matter.

OS's are only as dumb as the user who is using them IMHO. Altho Windoze seems to be dumber than most  ;)
Psyjax! I RULEZZZZ!!! HAR HAR HAR

XP can be advanced, just open up a *.msc or an Administrator Tools app. Normal home users don't ever need to mess with these (they don't even exist in XP Home, only in Pro), but if you want to, you can try some more advanced stuff.

Actually, you can only control what M$ *allows* you to control.  In Linux you can control everything. On the Mac you can change any of the Darwin stuff.  You can't have complete control without the source.
