I don't know where you jumped in from, but the question is what
is the better OS to run in a single-user environment, where you
don't have a system administrator.  [This last is because a great
many UNIX advocates tell us to refer all problems posed to the
"system administrator"] The answer is : MacOS, and
since it is currently tied to a particular hardware platform, 
MacOS is virtually synonymous with the Mac.  No confusion here.
UNIX on any box : Intel or Sun or HP or whatever is not as easy
to use.
