Jobs' arguments are largely false and all self-serving - it's all about obfuscating the fact that Apple wants to keep a walled igarden, so it can milk those inside it.

I will have to agree that most of IT does hate apple.
Just because the lack of software that can be run, and how Apple does not like it if you run MAC OS X without buying Apple's hardware. I know everyone here in my company (the IT area) hates Apple. I don't mind it, I just do not like the ridiculous pricing. We bought 6 iPads for our new branch, so I may have to go out and check them out lol. Still everyone hates it. Yeah almost every IT person I encountered hates it. In certificate programs, College courses, etc. They think the OS is great, they just hate the lack of good software in their minds.
I also agree with dmaul, a lot of power users do prefer linux over Mac, and even Windows, because of the tinkering aspect.
