He disputes so in a video in Bloomberg..

Bill Gates, co-founder at Microsoft and co-chair at Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, addresses his view of Apple's battle against an FBI court order to unlock an iPhone belonging to a shooter involved in the San Bernardino, California terror attack and the need for a balance between privacy and government access.

That's pretty much the same with Apple's products, whether you prefer them to anyone else's products or not is just a matter of personal taste. I'm not saying they are better or worse, just as different as any Unix/Linux flavor to say Windows, but you cannot just disregard any platform's "virtues" (take with a grain of salt, will you?) just because "it's not really well suited for casual exploration."

P.S. I'm confused... doesn't my SO's '02 silver Carrera qualify as a Porsche? I keep corrected then, sir.

Nope... maybe I haven't made myself clear (not english native speaker, sorry), but my point is more like: "Porsches are expensive. I'm told it's fun to drive one but, since they are so expensive, not everyone (at least not me!) can afford it. So I cannot comment on whether it's a good car or not, I don't really know."

GP's comment goes along "Porsches are expensive. I'm told it's fun to drive one but, since they are so expensive, not everyone can afford it. So everyone who says Porsches are better than Yugos is a fanboy and a snob."

Insightful my ass. A Porsche driving experience then is a myth as well, bolstered by fanboys et al, since it's a product that's not really well suited for casual exploration unless you got $ enough. Here is your car analogy. You seem to be trapped in Aesop's "The fox and the grapes". Can we please move on?
