It's funny to see the bias seep out in a conversation about why people have bias. I love Macs and I love Windows. They each have their respective strengths and weaknesses. I think that people get swept up in the battle so much that they have trouble seeing the other side clearly. People love to have something to believe in and also to have it's antithesis. What is a good guy without the bad guy to be better than? This is a simple tactic put fourth by marketing everywhere. Macs say 'switch', Windows says 'we have more software than Macs'. To what end? To control their loyal consumer bases. And people eat it up. A lot of Windows people swear that building a Mac computer is impossible. A lot of Mac people say that Windows always crashes. Both of these are lies. The same thing is true of most everything. Who do you favor in the presidential election? Whoever it is has lied to you about his adversary. You can be a puppet, or you can think for yourself.
