You can mix and match free (as in speech) software such as X, xboard and scid with the proprietary stuff. According to Google stats, hits from Macs are 4% of total, Linux only 1% at present. Apple PR claims that OS/X is now "the most popular Unix desktop in the world". To give you perspective of where I come from to make such comments, there are 6 computers in my house: three run Linux (though one is just functioning as a broadband router), and one of the Linux systems also continually runs Win/NT4 within a VMWare virtual machine (and camps on ICC running CT15 as "redshift"). One runs Win98SE (for the kids), a laptop runs Win/XP, and there is an iMac-G4. So I do have multi-OS experience. Go iMac!
