"So why cant Linux be better than OSX, or some future OSX, beying the same applied to MS products ? Intuitive Full 3D Desktops ?... i belive Linux/OSS has the necessary parts now (only at early stages) to win here as well."
Because free software in general is a poor innovator. Innovation requires an idea, people to implement it, and people to use it. Ideas are common enough, implementations are rarer and nobody wants to use experimental software (I say this through experience). So we copy what people have already seen.
