Or perhaps they are using WinXP (but only with LS), Ubuntu, *and* OS X, 
with MacPorts or Fink installed so that they can use all that lovely 
linux and BSD-developed software on the Mac. =)

I still don't think anything matches LS on XP for stability and 
customizability. Eventually I *might* get the Macbook tweaked up to 
something near LS standards, but it'll be a while, and it won't all be 
done with free software. I'd prefer Gnome, KDE or LS to the OS X dock 
and the finder bar. Although I've been able to reproduce much of the 
functionality I had with LS, it doesn't all fit together nearly as well 
as a good LS theme does.
