Microsoft I'm sure most of you are aware of the advertisements going back and forth between Apple and Microsoft. Apple started out with the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" campiagn, and Microsoft responded - after a long wait - with the "Laptop Hunters" ads. Recently, Apple made some price cuts, and according to Microsoft, the Cupertino company's lawyers contacted Microsoft, demanding they take down the ads.

I'm one of the few that agrees with you. The persecution will never end. (fail).

DS-9 was great SciFi because it was bad Star Trek. TNG had it's moments, but there was nothing special about it. I've found most of the people I know who like it, like to pretend Season 1 doesn't even exist.

Yes, you should ignore season 1, maybe except for the first episode (which has recurring plot references). When I started TNG, I had nothing else, otherwise I could've never gone beyond the beginning and see better stuff.

But am I the only one that like all of TNG, DS9, and Voyager (to some extent, except for the captain and her first officer)?

I think "All Good Things..." was one of the best series endears to ever be on TV.

TNG == Great
DS9 == Great
Voyager == meh
Enterprise == good and was on its way to getting very good before it was canceled. I think it would have finished off its run if SiFi had produced it.

You're not the only one. I like all three also. Can't we all just get along ? Back to the point: I believe Apple is afraid of competition. The don't want to liscence OS X to third party manufacturers and they are afraid of Microsoft's new ads. They, however allow you to install windows on Macs ??? I'm tired of their one sided bs imho.

season what?

Season 1 is actually very much classic ST in its set design and acting.
