apple.com — When Christopher Laub was in the third and fourth grades, chemotherapy treatments for his leukemia kept him out of school, feeling sick and weak. But through a close collaboration between Bel Aire Elementary School and Apple ? as well as a creative use of iChat AV ? Laub was able to continue with his classes through a system he dubbed 'iCan'.

Because this could have been done with *any* computer, and Apple is exploiting this kid's unfortunate circumstances to sell their products.

Sure you could do this with any other OS, but it would be a pain in the ass to set it up. Just like you could play games on a mac, but it'd end up being a compromise between less options, or just running Windows.

I find that if you dig, you'll find plenty of advanced features. There's a full UNIX underpinning, plist/defaults editing, and plenty of other advanced stuff you can do. I prefer the simpler implementation of many of those advanced features (for example, I prefer XML-based property lists to the rather opaque Windows registry blob). OS X has fewer obvious settings (making it easier), but many are still there if you know where to look.
