I joined the thread just as a matter of discussion, but didn't realize how bad an out and out war there is here between the iOS and WIN factions. It got ugly........ Including unsolicted nasty Freepmail.
One minor correction, catfish. Apple Macs run on OS X, an User Interface layer that runs on top or UNIX™, iOS runs on Apple's mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches made since about 2007. iOS is a subset of UNIX™ and OS X. Apple Watch OS is also a subset of UNIX™ as is AppleTV and CarPlay OS.
iOS's main competitor and opponent should rightfully be said to be Google's Android. There is a war going on there with Samsung being the primary mover with minor players also competing. Google is behind a lot of it too.
I've seen the anti-Apple Hate Brigade members attack innocent Mac users for just making a comment in an Apple thread. Some time ago, some of the worst of their ilk chased a female Mac user and a new Freeper out of a thread on the first time she ever commented with vile attacks. These haters told her she was only a Mac user because. like all Mac users, she was too stupid to use a "real" computer. It got really ugly. The perpetrators of that gang-up attack aren't on FR anymore. Unfortunately neither is she. That was years ago. . . it's a lot better now.
