Right. Back to the time when I got my first mac, it was an ibook G4 800Hz (it's only 4 years ago) and it was running Linux (gentoo ppc if you want to know). I think it was the good choice, because OS X was quite slow at that time, and the ibook wasn't particularty powerful.
Anyway one thing that didn't make me regret to not be using OS X, was that I didn't have to use the Horrible Dock :) What can I do ? I never liked it, and I never understood why it was supposed to be a so great idea. But now I'm using Mac OS X and althought I like the OS (I might talk about the reasons later), I still had to live with the Dock. Until now :

- DragThing : not free, but really an awesome piece of software, get it here. It allows you to create panes and panels from diffrent shapes, style and content. screenshot here. The icons on the left aren't on the desktop, they are in a transparent panel in the foreground.
- Switcheroo : minimalistic, does less things, but can be useful. Get it from versiontracker
