It seems that some well-known users are switching from MacOS to Linux, often after a lifetime of involvement with Apple's products. From Tim Bray's blog: "[...] as I stood in the Apple store last weekend and drooled over the beautiful, beautiful hardware, all I could think was how much work it would take to twiddle with the default settings, install third-party software, and hide all the commercial tie-ins so I could pretend I was in control of my own computer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to my eye Apple isn't beautiful anymore."

oh my god! what drama!
my question is, "if Apple is such a horrible company... and there products are SO bad!.... why do people spend SO MUCH time talking about it????" its almost like "bashing Apple"is the IT Worlds favorite hobby!
dont you guys have anythings else to do? go compile a custom Linux Kernel... or fix your office staffs random windows issues..... AND for CRYING OUT LOUD..... stay out of the apple store!
