Udo Schmitz writes "Look at this as kind of a followup to an article from yesterday, which was weak and boring although the author had a point. Enter Wil Shipley of Omni Group and Delicious Monster fame. At WWDC 2005 he gave a talk (PDF) about why he develops software for the Mac, when "all the other kids" are programming for Windows. Choice quote: "Windows users only ever use three apps: Word, IE (for e-mail), and iTunes"."

    This post basically contains no fact. It is full of opinions, and that, the kind that goes around like "I am hardcore Mac user, I have fun with computers."

    This is why Mac users are hated by so many. Not because they are misunderstood, but because they defend their positions without justifications --- and that, with religious fervor. (Just like little christian soldiers.)
