xoconostle: "I'm sorry, but this one reported market share, even if accurate, ignores the huge disparity between what platform creative professional prefer (yes, the one out of Cupertino) and which one the rest of the world has been fed." I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with the rest of your comments. I just resemble the above remark and find it insulting to those of us who actually chose to use a PC. We're not all sheep, nor stupid, nor non-creative. Including insults in your arguments has a tendency to invalidate them in the eyes of the people you're trying to convince. dbutenhof: "It's amazing how anytime someone says the word "Macintosh" hordes of Wintel people charge to the attack. Feeling defensive? If not, just leave it alone, OK? You're not going to convince anyone, and you're just making yourselves look silly." I reread the original post and the answers, and I've come to the conclusion it is pretty much the opposite. Or at best BOTH sides are just as guilty. The following makes just as much sense: It's amazing how anytime someone says the word "Macintosh" hordes of Mac people charge to defend what they assume is an attack. Feeling defensive? If not, just leave it alone, OK? You're not going to convince anyone, and you're just making yourselves look silly. ::wanders off shaking her head::
