Spikey, it's called Linux. Runs on x86, as well as most (or all?) Macs. All free, with a great user support base (depending on the distro you use). The only cost is the cost of building your computer and the boradband connection to download the programs and such on.
</EDIT>
Yes it runs on all macs, but i was more comparing Mac OS to Microsoft OS, both of which you have to pay for. I was not comparing free OS's. Linux is great, but in terms of compatibility Mac OS and windows can do more, (not that I like windows its ugly)
One nice thing with Mac OS is that you get a free develpor CD that lets you change every aspect of your system, try that on a windows machine without paying thousands of dollars.
