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.

  1. Better Poll by limekiller4 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'd like to see a poll on who likes Microsoft less; Mac users or Linux users. I'd also like to see a poll on what Mac users think of Linux (which would shed a lot of light on their technical accumen given OS X) and vice versa.

    Bullshit. Just because YOU don't care what's under the hood doesn't mean that those that do are juvenile, immature, or have nothing better to think about. It's unlikely that the technology industry will change in that was, but even if it did, it still takes takes people who are interested in the inner workings of things (i.e. those of us who can do math) to make the world go 'round.


    Who the fuck do you think you are to decide what matters? I've got new for you nothing MATTERS, nothing other than what each individual likes.

    Designers are often just as interested in customizable hardware

    What the fuck does that mean. Your people customize your work machines? Hi troll.

    None the less, are you telling me the G4 cube doesn't basically fall open? Are you saying Macs use all sorts of non-standard parts?

    What exactly are you trying to do except troll?
