I even had to download an application called Steermouse in order to replicate the movement of the mouse cursor to be more like Windows.
One would think that is a trivial issue, but the way the mouse moves on Mac is completely different. Something about the "curve" system that they implement...anyways...that's just some differences...

Sounds like a bit of a faff, I could never get to gips with the one mouse button thing, I found it most peculiar.

I don't think I can recall any issues with mouse movement on Redhat....

Nope, never had any problems with any linux distros (gnome/XFCE or KDE)

What I like about redhat/centOS is the commercial support, same with PHP and Zend. So in business, it is a lot easier to drop big names to customers than other OS's..
For example, we tell our customers our systems are using Redhat Enterprise, and they don't even question it...if we said Ubuntu, they would give us weird looks....
I know, it's dumb, but that's business, image is everything...
We all know that practically any form of linux distro can get the job done....

Very true.
Some people have the same attitude towards Open source and more importantly free projects as a whole, sad but its true.
For most people Free = crappy (must be a reason that its free) and Non-free = good (must be a reason it isn't free), which isn't always the case (I was going to launch into Microsoft bashing, but I probably shouldn't  ).
