>I've heard that the new Mac OS will be based on a Unix-type kernal. bloat >I've also heard similiar claims that NT is more Unix-like than 95. Are Yes, but NT is laughable, and bloated, Basically, these OS's will give you up to a 50% cut in battery life due to computational efficiency of the OS, require you to have a higher end CPU for the same tasks, require about 4X the memory, and have ridiculous reliability numbers. In general, traditional desktop OSs are bad for wearables. With Linux you at least have a chance to redo it correctly.
