Apple have come up with some innovative products, but their market share remains tiny. Sadly, though, many buyers have been mislead by the marketing and eye-candy, and desperately try to justify their overpriced purchases to themselves on forums around the Net. Let's see what they really mean...
"MacOS X is everything Linux wants to be." "Despite the fact that Linux is just code and can't WANT to be anything, I truly believe that it'd love to be a single-vendor, single-platform, sluggish half-proprietary OS with dwindling market share. Linux would love to throw away its impressively growing corporate takeup for that."
"Apple hardware is for real computer lovers." "It's no hassle to use a plethora of keyboard combos to make up for the patronising one-button mouse. Despite the fact that my hands have FIVE fingers, and multiple-buttons make Web browsing so much more pleasant, I prefer my computer to be treat me like a special-needs child."
"Aqua makes me so much more productive!" "My non-techie friends drool over the transparency and scaling effects, even though UI research has shown that they add practically nothing to getting real work done. It feels like KDE 2 on a Pentium 200, and I can't change to a light and fast WM, but those drop-shadows must make me work so quickly!"
"OSX shows that Apple is committed to open source." "OpenDarwin.org and its community of about 27 is surely not just a token gesture by Apple. Pretty much nobody uses pure Darwin, and all the crucial components of the system are closed and require me to spend money just to get major OS updates, but they're really helping the community somehow."
"You get what you pay for with Apple hardware." "My iBook was made by in Taiwan by AlphaTop and has design and build quality flaws (needing foam sheets jammed in to stop the common problem of the keyboard scratching the screen). But it's silvery and cost far more than an x86 laptop of better spec, so it must be much higher quality!"
"...blah blah MHz myth blah..." "Although there's truth in PPC being more elegant than x86, it's crushing that the top-of-the-range 1.5 GHz chip is slaughtered by the equivalent 3 GHz Pentium 4. However, Steve Jobs showed some vague Photoshop filter benchmarks at the last MacWorld, so I'm convinced."

'business as usual'
I think that was rather lash...
So we have an advanced(?) macro recorder versus 3 full featured program languages.
Uninformed Windows users find it stupid. They think Windows XP is the epitome of Windows stability, like 95/98/ME never existed.
I'll call it uck in this case.
Nice to be naive.
But forget about your DVD collection, if this ever catches on you have to buy your favorite movie over and over again.
So if nothing links to my homepage, but someone types it in?
But does vim speak?
How many people are using Mozilla 0.96? How many IE 4.0?
People who feed script kiddies, aren't the people publishing exploits.
I meant physical work. You have the right to be paid for the work you do, not the work you done.
Behold MIT
Well, I did some work a few years ago, why am I no longer paid for that?
The point is people should earn by writing, not by writen.
Actually life kills people...

There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.
GNU forever.
"Download them, and put them into your Share folder on your Gnutella client."
Wich is of course what this is all about.
But at least GNU/Linux had .html files before 1995...
"Open Source" may have bad documentation, I sugest you look at the GNU project.
KDE the desktop of choice for AC's.
"Mainland China does not, yet. But the US Army has displayed a strong inclination to forcibly export their legal viewpoints around the world."
Wouldn't this include the importing of chineese nukes?
