As a life long mac user, I am also starting to feel an 'evil empire' sort of vibe. Maybe the fanboy's obnoxiousness is starting to grate on me. But it's just as much the fact that Apple has such a headstrong attitude towards what I (the consumer) should want and accept. I mean afterall, Steve's brain is so vast that he knows my desires better than I do.
My next computer will be a PC rig..
