Microsoft has become less evil than Apple in the mindshare of the "technical folks" these days. This is pretty amazing!
I am very quickly starting to lose any sympathy for apple as they turn from a great product company into a financially engineered entity without a trace of real innovation. With a full-on user-hostile attitude, to boot.
- prodigal_erik 10y agoI'm always surprised people see this as a recent trend. If a machine has no expansion ports and the case is sealed with the weirdest screws they could find, it was meant to be an appliance for consumers rather than a tool for people.

- gaius 10y agoI just mention that incase anyone is wondering what tool to Google for ;-)
