To add to Chris T's remarks, Microsoft are, or at least there was talk, of them adopting a cycle of more Windows releases that are less radical. Ideally, they wanted to do a release every 2 years...

Just because you don't like what I say doesn't give you the right to call me uneducated and uninformed.

As I said, how Jobs has the balls to get away with it and sleep and night, I really don't know. He gets away with it legally because its stipulated in the EULA so he can charge what he wants, but it suprises me how many in the Mac community just keep supporting it.

Mac Rumors and Ars Technica are quite balanced. Mac Rumors rarely offers any commentry and instead sticks to posting news/rumors while Ars is completely balanced and certainly does not keep defending Apple. Think Secret are a rumor site. Cocoa Developers and other serious Mac users dislike Apples policy on many things.

And now we down to insults. Sad really, especially when you haven't read post 135...

Sorry but that was not a insult. It was a honest comment, that most of the Mac defend-everything-Apple fanatics tend to reside in forums and not anywhere people would take seriously. Maybe Pogue at the New York Times might be ultra-defensive of Apple.
Also, why make your comment

If in post 135 you do mention that people are waking to some of Apples bad-business? The crap with the iPhone is quite a annoyance with the 'Mac community' and before that it was the perception that Apple was ignoring the Mac business in favour of the iPod business, which sort of died down after the Intel-Switch.
I not sure what else you want? Obviously Macs are liked by the community and they are not going to desend into constant bashing of products they like.
