I like all the bad press. I hope it impacts sales; that is the point, after all. We vote with our wallets, and since the new Mac Pros don't have what I wanted, it's in my interest to support as many 'counter votes' as possible. I was told by Apple implicitly, and by some defenders on places like HN explicitly, that my needs are irrelevant and an edge condition (card reader, magsafe, even [ and they almost never had these ] ethernet ports paint me as a Luddite). It doesn't help that they're not exactly being sold for bargain prices.
If the sales go down, then Apple's strategy will be revised internally.
If the sales go up, then Apple's strategy will be viewed as a success.
