When he left Apple their fortunes dived, a few years later he came back, and the rest as they say is history.

That was as biased as it could be,  it must have been written by a Mac Fanboy or a MS Hater ;D

They missed some stuff out - ignoring the Microsoft cafe, which means the pics of gates adorning the walls is enough to put anyone off.

They forgot to mention that at the apple cafe, you only get one one brand of coffee - no variety

It seems they also forget to mention that at the Linux cafe it's so difficult to order a coffee that you'll probably end up going without. ;)

Did I forget to mention, I posted my last post from a comfortable Microsoft cafe, drinking Linux coffee while admiring apple mugs?

Ever used a Mac, Steve?

I have as it happens - and whilst they are stable - troubleshooting is a PITA (I had a guy's from work here a full weekend fixing it).

So yes - I have experience of all three.

I find Mac much more enjoyable to live with, end of. No one is forcing me to use it. That doesn't make me, or any other Apple user a mug.

LOL - that wasn't what I meant. It was a tribute to Apple styling - not an inflammatory remark about the users.

This is all getting very dull after a funny start, again  :(

I have to agree. It seems that some just can't resist.

Time to close the thread I think. We need to lighten up on platform wars, guys, or we'll destroy the forum. :(
