That's the problem in a nutshell. Apple fanatics are so deep into the scheme that they cannot see the forest for the trees....
To be frank, it's quite comical to those of us who do and the irony is dripping all over the place every time a Apple participant attacks Microsoft for running a proprietary consumer trap.
Just dripping irony every day.......
But I love irony.
We Mac OSX users find it amazing that we, who are experienced on TWO ecosystems instead of just Microsoft's, are considered the people who "cannot see the forest for the trees," and can be lectured by people who have NEVER run a modern OSX Mac and have no experience on which to base an opinion. The fact is, Cold, you do not have the experience necessary to hold an opinion that is valid on this subject. Your opinion is based on myth and hearsay from others as ignorant as you.
Your ignorance about Mac and Apple is dripping from every post you have made about those subjects in this thread... and in the Apple Mac threads where you have posted before. I have corrected your lack of facts every time you posted on the subject. You like to repeat things you have merely heard about to people who have far more experience than you on both platforms and expect us to bow to your superior "knowledge" and claims of irony. Your lecturing us on our shortcomings and our lack of ability to "see the forrest" is quite arrogant, taking the position that we are "rubes" who need to have their eyes opened. You are the one who is blind, having only looked for the forrest through Windows.
That is truly ironic.
