Linus and Slick - OS X iSwitched?

So, on the stream today, Linus and Slick mentioned (semi-humorously) whether they should do a Mac OS X iSwitched series. 

 

I have some OS X experience, and think it would be very interesting if Linus and Slick tried it out for a while. 

 

Should they? What's your opinion?

 

And, please, don't flame. PLEASE. This is not about whether OS X or Linux or Windows is superior. This is about whether Linus and/or Slick should do an iSwitched series. 

 

Edit:

P.S. Please DO vote. It is your duty as a denizen of the LinusTechTips forum.

I think it's a good idea if gaming isn't considered, even a Linux iSwitched would be good, but OSX is better for everyday use in reality with it's far superior application support.

I have used it for a week for Photoshop purposes on a Mac Pro and I did not quite like it.

Well I'd like to see them try both Linux Steam OS and the Mac OS X/10 as they're new to me since my knowledge and experience with Mac and Linux is limited.

For using Mac I think they should allow Edzel or Brandon to use Adobe Creative Suite to demonstrate how someone from a personal computer is moving from Windows to Mac OS X/10.

For Linux I don't mind however I want more commentators from the Linus Tech Tips Team to input their opinions to further enhance the range of opinion.

Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out.

Windows 95 was fantastic! So was 2000 and XP. Vista was crap, 7 was good. My favourite OS would have to be Win ME.

 

EDIT: I'm kidding, ME was nearly as buggy as all of Bethesdas games combined.

I wouldn't really know actually, I have never used any of apples OS's. I prefer windows and linux, mainly windows because of software compatibility.

I don't see what this would prove or show.  With OSX Being a capable mainstream OS the reality is for the end user it is either suitable or not (which is quite easy to work out without an iswitched video), doing an iswitched for a less popular or free OS would be more interesting.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

It would be pretty interesting to see their alternatives on the programs that they use on Windows. And try streaming using a Mac. :)

OS X is my OS of choice :D, I think they would be surprised how much they would like it.
