So, yeah, Macs may be great and all, but the attitude of their sheep fans is kind of off-putting. I'll stick to paying way less for way more. And anyone who complains about Microsoft's monopolistic tactics should take a close look at how Apple does business. They'd be just as bad if they had that market share. They already ripped off Konfabulator and put several of their developers out of business by integrating any good idea that any Mac developer came up with into the OS or bundled software. I think they're going after Virtualization next. I hope that new startup realizes that their days are numbered.
Since I have started using Mac's (last year) I recognize that using a Mac can cause a huge bias to develop in the minds of Mac users. I also agree that Mac users can very easily become sheeple who call Steve their shepard. I am positive that Steve would love to be in Bill's monopolistic position. =) Even still, I am enjoying being a Mac user. Did I mention the hardware is friggin sexy!
