I’d rather not. As I said earlier, use what you want, just don’t hate the fact that some people prefer Apple products. The last thing I would ever want to do is force someone to use a platform they so clearly despise.

I don’t hate anything. I don’t despise the platform at all (I despise itunes and some of Apple’s business practices in their app store, which hose small developers), I just bristle at your evangelical attitude which seems to be more about cheerleading and less about the needs of the guy actually using the computer, which would be me, for my business, which is me, alone, sitting at a computer all day making stuff. I wager I rely on my machine far more than you do on yours.

And then to cap it all off, the belittling stuff about “some people would rather drive a kia”. Nice!

You’re not exactly making your case, you know?
