What bothers me as a Mac user in a heterogenious environment is that every time someone says something positive about Macs around here, we're labeled as religious freaks that drank the Kool-Aid and swim around in Steve Jobs' reality distortion field. But if someone says something positive about Microsoft, they're an "Enterprise Builder" a "Team player" a "Forward thinker". Please. The hypocrisy is almost too much to handle.

I think many of the Microsoft fans out there just have a high tolerance for problems. The other day I was at a friend's house and when he opened his Vista laptop up, it refused to join his wireless network. He said, "Oh that happens all the time. We just have to wait a bit." then he proceeded to futz with it for 10 minutes before we were online surfing. If my Powerbook did that, I'd be PISSED. I stopped "evangelizing" for Apple some time ago. Now I just shake my head in wonder and amazement. I look at it like a competitive advantage! I keep working while the Windows majority is patching, installing drivers, removing ad/spyware, and rebooting (I think I rebooted my Mac at work a month ago).

Last point: I have used both platforms extensively and have formed my opinions in an educated way (for me at least). This is more than I can say for most Windows-using Mac critics. Most have them have never turned a Mac on, nevermind used one for more than an hour... so who's the fan boy?
