The non-corporate qualifier is necessary, otherwise we're left with OSX as
"the solution". It's free, people like it and the kernel is open source.
But it's also tightly controlled by Apple so there's little hope of using
it on non-macs for normal users (and there's a number of things I don't
like about OSX's desktop in daily use.)
