> My phone works as a modem out of the box in Ubuntu. I can do internet connection sharing to my Xbox in less than 5 clicks (it required registry editing and manual editting of UNIX files in use in OS X), and I've yet to get my phone working as a modem in OS X, period.
And you still can't watch video without tearing on multiple displays setup :(
(You have to disable one of the displays in driver settings)
You can't have photoshop or any decent image editing software on linux (gimp is, well, a cripple).
Arguably, font rendering is still awful, and so are default fonts in all the distros.
You still have to watch out for what you upgrade and in which order. E.g. if you update X with non-repository video drivers (e.g. binary AMD drivers), your system might not even load after reboot.
Speaking of AMD drivers, they are plain horrible.
Arguably, GNOME / KDE / XFCE are all worse than Windows Explorer or OS X default window manager.
Whenever it comes to something being easy to use or well-designed visually, linux desktop experience is so much inferior compared to windows and os x.

Really? I've always thought of good window managers as one of the big selling points of the Linux experience. Moving and resizing windows just seems so much more cumbersome to me when I'm using either. Perhaps you meant to talk about the file manager?

In comparison to what? Cleartype on windows is absolute shit, and OSX just looks blurry. In Linux I can tweak the aliasing and hinting options to be the way I like them.
