Good companies can create fanboys and not-so-good can lose them seemingly overnight. Believe it or not, there were quite a few Microsoft fanboys just 10 years ago, I was one of them: it was a great place to work in early 90s and they kicked everyone's ass on engineering battleground: Netscape, Borland and IBM can whine all they want, but the technology behind NN4, Borland compilers and OS/2 couldn't handle Microsoft's will to compete. ... while Apple was considered to be technically inferior (and it was) overpriced junk for seniors. When you turn these tables around, that's called innovation: not just 100% technology, but design and marketing as well.
