If you'll notice I've actually been defending Apple for the majority of this thread, from someone who has been arguing on behalf of the Russian hackers that cracked OSX with lies that have gone on for months. Lies he admits he made on purpose, but instead of accepting responsibility claims they were quote "fun".
This is obviously a significant character issue that goes far deeper than anyone's personal preference of platform, to not only purposefully lie for months but what cause he has chosen to lie in support of, being the illegal Russian hacking of Apple's platform.
I remain a supporter of Apple Inc, especially their intellectal property including patents, something that antiRepublican strongly opposes. So while there are obviously battles going on in this thread, they are not all Apple vs. Microsoft vs. Linux. There is US intellectual property protection vs. illegal foreign hackers, as well, in my opinion being an even more significant issue.
Yet again, a lie. Isn't there a board dedicated to libel that you can join? You may feel more welcome there.
