I try not to respond to flaming, but this is completely uncalled for. I am an Apple user who rates their products highly. I am not ignorant nor a "fanboy", whatever the hell that means. I used MS & then Windows products for 20 years, before switched to a Mac for home. I still use Windows products at work. I am perfectly capable of comparing the two products.
I understand people get caught up in the heat of the moment. But it is one thing to disapprove of a marketing strategy of a company, and it's another to insult fellow colleagues at MR, with demeaning labels like "fanboy". I think it is unacceptable, and I am getting tired of reading it in every other post
