An interesting question

<< < (2/8) > >>

Master of Reality:
About a couple days after they first started they became more than five percent. Especially after a little treason and a couple millions dollars inherited.
here is a little story:
When I was a wee lad i had 2 cents, i used that 2 cents to buy an apple. Well, i shined that apple all day and at the end of the day i sold it for 5 cents. The next day I bought two apples, shined them all day... then my grandparents died and i inherited a million dollars.

markdcc:
Market share is irrelevant, Apple didn't abuse it's market share to shut out healthy competition.  If apple had stolen windows from M$ and forced people to use their software, then they would be the ones in federal court now.

slave:
If people didn't like Windows then they wouldn't use it.  No one is "forcing" anyone to use Windows, to use IE, or to use MSN.  People who say that are full of horse shit.

choasforages:
no, most people just don't know better, they don't know that a better option is out there, or they just don't want to learn

IvoryTower:
User: That's a pretty open-ended question...and there are a number of answers, but the following should pretty much put an end to your deliberations:

If Apple bought/stole their way to the top as M$ has, then Apple would suck arse as M$ now does.

If Apple had fairly won the market share from its competitors, maintained their superiority by offering products people really wanted to own, and allowed/inspired innovation in the marketplace, then Apple would be well worth supporting.

Personally, I support Apple because I find their products worth the money. My experiences with them have been nothing but positive...maybe my case is unique. However, even if my loyalty to Apple suddenly evaporated like so many OC'd P4s, I'd find it difficult to back a company convicted of commiting a felony...not to mention innumerable other crimes, and their abiltiy/willingness to squelch true innovation, while supplanting it with their own mutilated version and claiming originality. As an artist, those actions are hard to swallow.

My distaste (distrust) for M$ runs deeply...and because of that I'd champion nearly any anti-M$ cause...despite their allegiance to Apple (unless of course that cause happened to be more corrupt than M$).
