in the long run, I think he is right. hence Gtk and wxPython's ports to 
Aqua. but in the meantime it helps in the "Switch from Windows" 
campaign because it encourages more use of fink apps, openoffice, etc.

it's also a way to convert more unix users over to apple's unix, which 
in turn hopefully gets Mac OS X Server and xserves installed.
