I've discussed Raymond's article and Gruber's with geek friends. On the whole they don't have a clue what I'm talking about. They stare at you with blank faces as if Aunt Tillie, or whoever, is going to figure out all this stuff and won't mind a UI that does practically nothing. Show the pref panes of OSX to a long gone Linux geek and he says "so what." They're nutz. I run my own Linux server but darned if I'm going to use Linux on the desktop. What a joke.

I am not sure Mac OS X relies on CUPS for the discovery of Rendezvous shared printers. I'd say it has a bit more than a wrapper around CUPS in this regard.
