By that logic, we should all be followers of Charles Manson.

It's all marketing and the Mac "lovers" are buying it hook, line and sinker.

A computer is just a tool.

How many people do you know that are "in love" with their Black and Decker cordless drill?

Mac users have inherated a liberal gene ... an “I am better than you” gene.

What microsoft has done to the world of computing borders on diabolical.

What is more peculiar than Apple obsession is the lack of candor about what the Windows environment constructed by Microsoft has done to hamper the vital human activity of computing.

There is no comparable state of failure in various human products. Somehow, Microsoft has convinced us all that the sluggishness and various compromises of their systems is necessary.

Why is this pathology rarely challenged?

Most of the people I know with Vista got it for free. Microsoft practically gives its software away to college students for free on campuses. This passes with little discussion. Is Microsoft really a good product?

It feels religious doesn’t it?

I feel the same way about TIVO though so its not like I’m going to be throwing any stones.

The op-ed was just edified FUD, IMHO. The usual anti-Apple, anti-Mac, and anti-Apple/Mac-users hostility that usually wells up in these threads is the only cult mentality in evidence.
