I was responding to someone, I forget who, that felt the need to take potshots at calibre in an unrelated thread, purely as a way to distract attention from the issue at hand. If I got a little heated, that would be because I'm human.
I do believe that Apple products are underpowered. The whole philosophy of Apple; that the only way they can make products that "just work" is to restrict them to doing the absolute minimum and then only when interfacing with other apple products smacks of generalized incompetence.

You have essentially just insulted approximately 50 million people based solely upon their ownership of a particular brand of product.

On the other hand, I just complimented 500 million people based on their refusal to use Apple products.
In my opinion, you should not use Apple products, and I am not afraid of saying so. I usually refrain from doing that, as I am generally polite and don't like provoking people unnecessarily, but if you provoke me, you will get poked.
