Those who don't show any independent thought. Because M$ is a big American business, then it's their right to support them in any way possible, no questions asked. And if another American company produces something that many think is better, it must be put down at all costs without question in favor of the almighty Microsoft. Those are the clones to which I reference - the Microsoft clones.

I'm all for US companies coming up with something better, wish they would at the same price point. But no, foreign fakes like Linux of American products like Unix DO NOT COUNT, not in my book, whether International Business Machines is pushing it or not. IBM was more than happy to point out last year that the majority of their employees are no longer in the US, when they laid off Americans last year. Maybe the Mac Mini will catch on, if it does, I might buy one, I've owned several Apple computers before going back to the ][+.

Strangely enough I know some Linux/Unix people exactly like that. Small world, huh?
