Yeah, but this isn't "an OS", per se. This is a firewall OS, a larger, grander and neater way of doing with old hardware as opposed to the generic, low-rent network router that some 18-year old wanna-be hack will sell you at Best Buy. It's also a lot more robust than 99.9% of those pieces of hardware, will support more traffic and users and even lets you see if there's an "incident" on your network where one or more computers are hogging your bandwidth. You can even see what kind of traffic it is. It's great if you start rolling them out for friends and family that you manage the computers for, anyways, as they're universal in their performance and you can help parents keep tabs on what their kids are doing... independent of the OS on the client computer ;) It can see what your Mac is doing, just the same as the Windows desktop and the Linux laptop.

The irony of the matter is that if you're the kind of person that builds these systems, you probably don't need to worry about your own network very much (unless you're deploying it at a SMB).

Apples and oranges in this case, bud. :) It doesn't even support a true desktop session OOTB. Kinda negates the whole purpose. You don't surf directly from your wireless router, do you? :)
