I don't have brand loyalty for anything, but I do have brand antipathy based on bad behavior.

For example, HP, Compaq, Dell, & Gatway all index their windows install discs to the bios chip, which means you can not do an install if you have to replace the motherboard. I never so much as read the specs on their PCs.
