Look, I'll finally admit it right here. I despise Apple. . . Well, gee, I'm glad you told us upfront. We'd never have guessed from your load of myths you proceed to dump in the rest of your post. The fact is that Microsoft has spent MORE money to push the Liberal agenda than Apple ever has. . . as has Bill Gates. And in the case of Gates, far more money than Steve Jobs.
Apples are for children, artists or dreamers with their heads in la-la land.
You claim to have worked with UNIX, but seem to be unaware that the best selling completely POSIX compliant and trademarked UNIX in the world is Apple OS X and now MacOS. . . a very powerful UNIX™. You also seem to be unaware that Apple Macs run far more software than any other computer, including your vaunted Windows computers. I have run my main Mac with NINE completely different Operating Systems running simultaneously. . . including four different iterations of Windows, two flavors of Linux, UNIX™ (the native OS), and two versions of OSX. Try that on a Windows PC.
So "Apples are for children, artists dreamers," eh? Which of those categories do these NASA engineers who planned, engineered and executed the landing of the Curiosity Rover on Mars fall under, higgmeister?

Incidentally, another view of that same room, shows that those engineers are running Mac OSX, not Windows of Linux. There are only two Window PC computers out of over 35 computers being used by these NASA engineers in that team. So much for your ignorant claims about Apple Macs being for children, artists, and dreamers. You just proved you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
Oh, you apparently don't know that IBM, one of the largest businesses in the world, is in the process of completing moving every single one of their employees over to using Apple computers. . . all 250,000 of them. They've discovered that it is far less expensive to support Apple gear than Windows PCs by a HUGE amount, and that the Total Cost of Ownership of the Apple computers is far less than the Windows PCs. There's another nail in the coffin of your claims.

There's another nail in the coffin of your claims. What are you trying to do, change my mind? Your putting a nail in the coffin of my claims will not change how I feel about Apple. Bill Gates has been cursed from time to time by almost everyone that touched a Microsoft product, unlike the perverted cult of personality around Steve Jobs.
My bias goes way back to all the holier-than-thou Apple owners that continuously poor mouthed PC's. The comparison back then was laughable. I could do far more on my TI-99/4A than anyone could on an overpriced Apple. It is no wonder that Apple is taking over at NASA and IBM as you claim. The programs to indoctrinate children in schools with the Apple Logo started almost 40 years ago. Those indoctrinated children came of age and entered the workforce with the Apple logo stenciled on their brains. Is it a coincidence that full blown socialist indoctrination arrived in our schools around the same time?
My Dad got in on the ground floor of computing after World War II and retired from General Electric as a Sr. Computer Systems Analyst. He was part of the team that wrote code for the Saturn 5 Rocket inventory under contract to NASA. Open code PC's allowed me to program and work with computers as much as I wanted. As a Senior Technician at Verizon, I got to do that and get paid well for doing it. I have not kept up with the Apple products for the past fifteen years since I went into Program and Project Management and then retired. But actually I don't even care because, why would I want to learn anything about an Apple? I heard about an Apple being able to run Windows. Some further proof that Apples were inferior to PC's before that.
