Then don't knock other platforms yourself then.
If the Mac was so great, why did it capture a massive 7% of the total market 
??
It wasn't as if they weren't advertised enough, they had tons of ads 
everywhere. 
After how many years after the "PowerMac" came out has it been missing a 
(excluding NT) proper native Mac operating system ?
The Mac (genericly) is a =great= machine. So is the IBM compat PC. So is the 
Amiga  etc
Each to their own. Don't knock them, tolerate & welcome them !
