Defending foreign criminals who hacked their OS to run on non-Apple computers is obviously an attack on Apple

As I said, I like Apple because they make good products. I will cease liking Apple if they cease making good products. To me the quality of their products outweighs their ethical lapses, such as threatening people who are engaging in (IMNSHO) fair use of copyrighted materials.

I also like Adobe, and they have four figures of my money too. I also criticized them for having a programmer arrested for working for a company that makes legitimate software that the FBI itself bought (acquitted, BTW).

You are the one trying to assign some kind of loyalty to companies, a kind of enslavement status where afterwards you are not allowed to criticize the almighty corporations no matter how unethical their actions. No wonder you're so beholden to Microsoft, just as badly as the Stallmanites are beholden to him.

Sorry GE, but unlike you and them I will let neither a software vendor nor a demagogue tell me how to think.

My issues are simple, don’t use clones of our products originating from socialist countries, and don’t use American products backed by green party leftists. Of course, those are the exact types of products you champion LOL.

GE OUT
