Ahmadinejad has never even came close to saying he wants to kill all Jews. He has said Zionism will disappear, much like the Russian communist era.

As satire, what you wrote is funny. Very funny! But I read this sort of sentiment a lot and wonder: If "you" (quotes to include whomever is sentimentising the sentiment) are serious, what is wrong with you and what world are you living in? I am one of those people who've used 10ish different operating systems, starting from the C64 up to the current versions of OSX and Windows and can tell you that A) I have no interest in Birkenstocks (I don't even know if that's spelled correctly), I shower every day, never hug a tree (though i give them a respectful nod now and then) and think zealotry for any cause is lame. I know many a Mac user and none are as you describe. So for any who think as you sentimentise (that's a word worth using more than once), all I can say is: grow up.
If you weren't serious, wonderful; I'll leave those who do think like that to digest(figuratively) this response.
But really, it was funny.
Really, all I want to say is that is one of the funniest/witty/factual replies I've ever read.
By the time I got to the end, I was like, "No, don't let it end!"
Anyway kudos, man.
It's okay for us to differ on any opinion, however your post seemed to be a rant decrying all nay-sayers of the ribbon were just haters of Microsoft and/or change. I'm pretty confident, based on my own experience and conversations, that this is not the case.
Of course
What IT thinks is better for people is digressing from the subject matter, and I'm sure we all have our opinions on that.
But as for the ribbon, for me, personally, there's so many kinds of wrong with it, I'm amazed that anyone sees it as positive. Given the choice, I'd rather not use it, and this is the path I've gone with.
Cheers
