I don't think this is a good idea. Look at the "Why" list from a
Mac owners perspective:

Viruses and Spyware: None. Zip. Nada. We laugh at Windows too.

Security and Stability: FreeBSD. Got that.

Package Management: Got that. (Apple Software Update does all your
system stuff. Installing Mac applications is just 'drag folder onto
the disk')

Features: Got those 3D hardware based desktop effects before
anyone else.

Compatibility: OK, MacOS X doesn't run on as wide a range of hardware.

Free (as in freedom): We love Steve Jobs! We trust Apple! Stay out
of our counter-culture alternative lifestyle you bearded wierdos!

Free (as in cost): Linux has about the same aesthetic appeal as
graffiti by homeless street people. We pay for style.

Easy and Intuitive: Linux over Mac? HA HA HA HA!

Choice and Control/Community: We all *chose* our Macs. Everyone in
the Mac community, user or developer, has a passion for it, not
for market share. (We're right at home with making money.)

Fun! : Macs are fun. Oh, and we've got native World of Warcraft.


Seriously, it's a different community and you'll need different
reasons if you want Macintosh people to switch.
