I have been with Apple since '82 and am still very loyal. But I gave up being a dimwit mac-evangelist when I realized that I have a plenty of hardware/configuration/networking issues with my macs. I can't count the number of times I have thanked myself for purchasing the AppleCare warranty extension. Not to mention I found many features in Win that I wished were in OSX. My attitude changed when I realized Apple is not always the "innovator" they claim to be; they very often are just an "integrator." The thing that pisses me off about M$ is no longer their adoption of technology already adopted by Apple; it's the fact that M$ is a dirty company that seeks to push everyone out of the market by keeping everything proprietary (e.g., Windows<->Mac/Linux file sharing is a disaster). Their greed only hinders the advancement of technology. Apple has too kept a lot of technology proprietary, but then plenty of industry-wide standards came from Apple, and are now integrated seamlessly into other OSes. By the way, I remember reading last year that WeatherBug was available only on XP was because OSX could not run "miniature browsers" (or something like that.) This leaves me very confused. Should HTML gadgets on Vista just be concidered an existing feature in XP. Would someone please clarify? Thanx. sydneystephen: Even though I find Beeblebrox's "tact" absolutely appalling, you should admit defeat. He's got your ass in a ringer. I love to see Mac-fanboys get put in their place.
