Crazy how big Apple has become. Yet I haven't bought or voluntarily used a single one of their products in the last 5 years. Interestingly though, as a developer, I was forced to use Apple laptops at 2 of the last companies I worked at. I feel it creeping into my personal space. I have some resentment against the company as a result. It's better than Windows but I'm less productive with it than on Linux. It may even have (in a small way) contributed to me losing my job in my last company due to various UX gotchas I could never get used to and lost motivation (I'm a developer so all the small things add up).

I have far more concerns about Microsoft (products developed for the enterprise and government) and Google (services developed for the advertiser) than Apple. My only concern is whether their push into services ends up corrupting the core products. If so I'll deal with that when it happens.
