That makes sense though, osx is Unix, which Linux is based on.  I'd think cross porting of drivers and software would be mostly trivial.  They even use the same shell with minor differences.

Honestly I'd like to see something more like the surface but without the cost... I'm surprised apple still hasn't made a touchscreen laptop.

People would drive Microsoft out of business and buy these laptops like no other (probs an exaggaration) if they made them. In all seriousness though, people have been screaming for them for years. Apple usually listens to their users pretty well, but the keyboards and touch screens are exceptions to that rule. 

I suppose they're trying to drive people to the iPad, but still.
