Newsflash: Mac Users Love Apple, Hate Microsoft

Posted by pudge on from the are-we-sure-this-isn't-linux-users? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An article on wired.com talks about how Mac users helped Apple through the dark years of the 90s." It goes on to discuss how a psychologist was hired to figure out how to woo Mac users away from Apple, with some (to him) surprising results.

    I wish I could tag articles based on content. If this were Fark, it'd have been tagged "Obvious" yesterday.

    It's usually not a "switch", but an addition. IIRC, Taco bought a Powerbook. I have several platforms that I use, ranging from BSD and Linux all the way to the dreaded XP. But more and more, I've moved to my new Powerbook (faster than Taco's, hah!) for just about everything I do at work or home except gaming.

    And yes, I know it was foolish to brag about my Powerbook being faster. He can probably -afford- a new one, where I'm still gonna be in debt for a while on mine. :)
