Well, We can ask the same for Why does mac users 'hate' the Windows OS, especially the latest Win 7?
Why does Apple attract so many haters would be a similar type of question of asking Why does the Rambus attrack so many haters?
Rambus is an intellectual property company holding a lot of tech patents on memory module technology. It basically started up by filing all the ideas various companies had put out in Electronics Standard conferences as their own, then went on to purchase technogies from startups, so at the end, they end up owning bits and pieces of techs used in almost all memory development. It basically lives on court winnings and patent charges.
Their investors love the company, but most who knew what happen hates them!
Part of the Hate apples gets was from their own monoply of things, example like their latest suits on HTC. (nokia is not setting good examples however)
Then the next hate are the premiums they charge on customers to use their hardware. Since after they went INtel, IT know hows KNEW all the Macs no matter how high end, they use the same bloody chipset as their WIndows counterpart. Then they put on a lot of restrictions on their hardware to limit user's freedom, ie no sd card slot.
Such self centre behaviour can be seen as a form of bullying to many, therefore it attracts hate.
The same applies for Microsoft, Linux gangs hate them for similar reason over coding.
If Apple release products 30% cheaper than it is asking now and throws out everything their haters wants them to have in the next version, i am sure they will recieve love letters across board.
that aint gonna happen...
? lol
