Tomorrow? Nothing. A few months later however - after all the security holes have been fixed and malware attacks have died down - I'd buy a Mac.

Mostly indifferent: I'm perfectly happy running Ubuntu. Of course, I'm always happy to see previously-closed source become available.

Sweet! I'd immediately snag some of their code for use in my own projects. There would be so many feature requests and patches written by other people. I'd probably make a custom build of the OS with some of the interesting mods.

I'd be looking forward to being able to run my favourite desktop on 'proper' linux on hardware of my choice. Once someone's finished creating the inevitable Obuntu distribution that is.

Incredulous, this being one of the most locked-down ecosystems. I'd suspect a legal trap, incompleteness (see: nVidia) or obfuscation.

Few would continue to overpay for Apple hardware.
