Whenever the Apple versus Linux meme comes up -- or the incessant media barrage gets to me, and I actually consider shelling out hard cash for Apple hardware -- I remember these blog posts by Mark Pilgrim (who was once an Apple fan's Apple fan)

and since then, apparently his whole family has followed his example.

I still recommend these posts, to anyone who want's to understand why free/open software and free/open standards matter (and maybe why Apple isn't really open in either sphere).
