I love Apple pie... Just hearing the word makes me want to bake one 
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

*blinks* someone hates Apple?
I dislike Apple Inc.'s products as well, with similarly little basis (except for iTunes, which has some annoying issues...)
hey, I dislike Steve Jobs. That's enough reason to dislike Apple (using the same logic kids use to "hate" Microsoft).
But I'm pragmatic. They make SOME nice stuff, shame it's so overpriced though

Apple products just generally suck ass.. the only reason they are still in business is b/c microsoft doesn't give a damn.. they aren't a threat b/c microsoft's biggest customers are the businesses.. and no one in their right mind would use macs for their business.. also, if microsoft put apple out of business, then the damn liberals would charge them with monopolizing the industry (again). So yeah, apple sucks.. everyone knows it.. but microsoft needs them ;-)

Their software on the other hand is getting increasingly battered for security faults, which is rather entertaining. Ah, I miss the good ol' days of "I have a Mac, so I don't need antivirus..." Not that I ever had a Mac...
That said, Apple seems to have become a little distant from the PC market and seems to be focusing heavily on embedded systems these days. The iPod, iPhone, and AppleTV are the new "hot stuff" coming from their shops, (ok, Leopard is still a big one, but that's for an existing market). This could also just be the next trend for the industry, since Microsoft is making a similar push (though also retaining their huge focus on PC related products), with the Zune, XboX (which doubles as a media center), and Windows Mobile devices.

iPod all the way! It is as American as apple pie! I agree, American Pie is one super movie (we have the whole set of DVDs in our media room)!

My 2003 PPC wont work with vista or WMP11 as its "too old" as MS decided to cut all support of CE based systems to only 1 year.

The main thing that made me swap to apple was the price of an OS that does not work properly and was not really a significant upgrade.

I am eyeing an i-Mac, and hope to talk my dad into getting one for Thanksgiving.
