"PoS" is definitely he correct term for the numerous different Linux 
varities. None of the standard software runs on it for a start - no 
Adobe, no Microsoft, etc., so if you need to use any of those to be 
fully compatible ("alternatives" are never fully compatible, despite 
what they like to claim), then you need to use a proper operating 
system: MacOS X.
