By the way, when was the last time anyone gave a damn what Steve Ballmer says...?

For my money, OS X is a better value than Vista any day of the week. And yes, Virginia, it's a better value than Linux, too. After all these years, $130 a year for OS X works out to less than $11 a month. Even if I were paid a measly $6 an hour, the administrative costs of OS X are much less for me than Linux would be. Linux is great as a server and it's a fun tinker's OS, but for getting every day work done, OS X wastes less of my time than any other OS. Let's face it: who has too much free time these days? Oh... right. Slashdot readers do.

Why can't people just *prefer* Linux or Windows or BSD or Solaris or whatever, and not constantly whinge about "fanatical" Mac users?
