Calling both of your attention to post 50.
You guys seem to be at it again lately, trying to ruin the Apple threads. Just because you weren’t mentioned by name driftdiver, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to you as well.
Apparently you thought the heat was off, well it’s back on, from the big man himself, get the hint?, catching his “drift”?
“Calling both of your attention to post 50.”
That is fine and I will not post on any more Apple threads. I have truly tried to be respectful but I will not go where I am not wanted.
I would ask that mac fans not post their attacks on other threads. The one below is an example. If that is out of line then I am not sure what to say.

Persistent little disruptors, ain't they?
You'd almost think they were getting paid to do it. Either that or they're sick in the head. I prefer to think that they are mercenary bass turds, since that's easier to cure.
We know from his own statements that Puget works for Microsoft; I don't know for sure about the others.
Regardless of that, the word has been out for a few months from Redmond, that since Windows 7, as excellent a product as it is, isn't getting market penetration as quickly as MSFT would like, it's time to trash the competition again.
XP (Win7's true competition) is deeply embedded in the business workplace and a lot of homes where it's doing everything the user needs. It's proving really hard to shoehorn it out and replace it with Win7. But trashing Win XP isn't quite as satisfying as trashing Apple.
So while MSFT pulls the rug out from under XP (e.g. makes new products like IE9 incompatible with it, when they could certainly have made it compatible), the folks whose paychecks are signed in Redmond have been told that it's time to trash the folks in Cupertino and all who support them.
Which is a shame. Win7 is a truly great OS. I use it on a couple different machines, every day, and like it. If I were doing MSFT's marketing, I'd be talking about how great it is, not how Apple's niche success is false. But then, those guys are richer than I am, so they must be smarter than I am, right?
