I hope the wxPython devotees don't assume that Mac users want to see 
Macs in the office to replace Windows??

Not me. I used to get cheap remarks every time I bought my powerbook in 
to the office in the old days (before VB made programmers out of 
anybody). Some places were even superstitious to the point of 
preventing access to the intranet.

I now think that a cheap, defacto OS suits organ grinding, Java 
programming, VB-like database forms and other general grist that keeps 
stock market investors in new cars.  And a creative OS refuge for work 
and projects about which you are genuinely concerned and that relate to 
personal fulfillment.

An informal word of advice, based on painful experience (if you ever 
work in the UK, at least) : Don't get the two mixed up.

Having said all this, the day that OS X becomes widespread in the 
office will be the day that a New Knuckle OS will appear as viable, 
edgy alternative!
