My .02: Most of the animosity is due to a loud faction of MAC users who are self-absorbed. Everthing has to revolve around what they do and what is best for them right now. They believe that whatever is the best product for them is the best product for everyone. They're special, and everyone else is stupid because they won't change.

They have short memories of the years that Apple stubbornly hung onto an inferior hardware platform and the consequences that has in terms of the industry. They think enterprise datacenters should just forklift millions of Windows machines and re-write billions of lines of code so that everyone can be like them.

They praise Jobs and his business model to the heavens, but I have yet to have any of them be able to tell me they think the industry would be better off if Microsoft had adopted that same business model early on instead of concentrating on writing a hardware agnostic OS, and letting the hardware sector flourish around it.

I have never seen that. I agree with aruanan that you are projecting. To prove we are in denial will you please refer us to some examples of what you are talking about. If you can't find any now just do it the next time you see an example.
