@W000T:
> Apple fans are not the only ones
No one with any sense would claim that.
On the other hand, throwing out something like "Sometimes Microsoft just doesn't think hard enough before releasing some of their products" is likely to garner you nods of agreement from Microsoft users, not caustic flames. You have to go to extremes to provoke a nasty response from them, perhaps something like "No one who really cares about technology would ever use Windows."
Personally, I quite like some Linux flavors, I don't mind Windows, and I don't mind Macs either, but I don't really get the fetish appeal. Pretty much all OS fanboys are annoying, though.
