Dare I say it?

You don't know what the flake you are talking about. Apple does not implement these technologies. And given the uproar that will arise and the marketing window that will open ofr Apple as a result, I sure hope that they don't.

Huh? I've never experienced such a thing and have been a Mac user for 9 years. No spyware, no hardware keyed software, no back-door security intrusions. Heck, I've not even had a virus on my computer in 8 years (and no extra measures against them).

I'm not going to tear into an anti-Microsoft tirade right now. I will just say that I enjoy using the Macintosh platform, especially with the latest version of the OS -"Jaguar" - the power and stability of Linux, with the ease and user-friendly interface of the MacOS. The platform satisfies my needs by doing the job asked of it - day-in and day-out without a complaint. Easy upgrades (95% of CD drives, 100% of Hard drives, industry standard RAM, etc.).

I am not a computer snob - I use what works for me. If you feel like bashing an OS or platform, find a message board for other geeks with nothing more constructive to do with their time. This thread was for intelligent comments regarding the latest, though not surprising, stunt by Microsoft.
