I going to try my damned not to be rude, but it's hard. For the large part, you've not said anything wrong, in fact I agree with you, other than this; "This guy is a hardcore Linux geek converted into hardcore Mac-fanboy (polar opposite)" Why? Why are using and being a fan of Linux and being an Apple user (or for that matter a Windows user) mutually exclusive? You don't have to buy into the hardcore Stallmanian crap to use it or to enjoy it and even be a fan, hardcore or otherwise. Just as you don't have to succumb to some of Apple's more creepy policies in order to use there laptops etc. I find this attitude in tech particularly irksome. In the past, I have reacted aggressively, which serves nothing other than to get everyones backs up, but I honestly find that quote actually offensive, not to mention deeply myopic and childish. It also irk me that I'm irked by it. The whole community would be better severed by a collective laissez-faire attitude rather than constantly championing their choice or view as the one true path. Like I said at the beginning, I agree and this rant has been bubbling under the surface and I feel better for saying it. Feel free to ignore me.
