Is not someone's experience "reality." If you don't want to win anyone over, then why the constant bashing of Apple?

I can't think of a time where I've "bashed" anyone who simply said that they enjoy using Mac OS X; I honestly wouldn't do that because I also enjoy using Mac OS X. I think it is a fantastic, very capable, modern operating system, just like Windows. While I think that the Mac computers themselves are horribly overpriced, I certainly have no problem with people buying them, and it also doesn't change the fact that I think Mac OS X is a great operating system, just like Windows.
What I can't stand is the cult of Apple crowd who shows up in every single Apple-related thread, spreading misinformation about Apple's line of computers. I get really tired of hearing the outright lies and fabrications that are generated from the fingers of these people.

-Yes, Macs are more expensive. To those using and loving Apple, it does not matter. The experience is worth the price. So why do you care so much?

I don't. Again, buy what you want. However, when the cult of Apple members begin saying things like "Macs cost more because they are so superior to Windows PCs", that's where I draw the line. If you are willing to pay more for a Mac simply because it's what you prefer, that's great, but don't make up lies to justify why you did it.

-Yes, there is more software available for Windows. It is largely irrelevant. I could spend several lifetimes using my Mac and continually using new software and never run out of things to do. I can do virtually anything I want to on my Mac. If there is a must have PC game, I can probably run it on my Windows partition (or my stand-alone PC for that matter.)

What's your point? I don't think I ever argued against anything you said here.

-Yes, you can run all the software you want on Windows just as you can drive from East Lansing to Dewitt with almost any car (Windows.) But the experience of driving there can be vastly different with a well-designed, fun car (OS X.)

You see?!
THIS is what I'm talking about! Apple users' sense of superiority. This is why the majority of people think you're a bunch of pretentious douchbags.

Obviously OS X does not appeal to you. So be it.

See, you don't even know me. I think Mac OS X is great. I use a Mac all the time, and I think it works just fine. I also use Windows Vista/7 all the time, and I think that works great too. In fact, I even use Ubuntu Linux from time to time (though I haven't in a while, admittedly), and for the most part, that works great as well.
This is the problem with Apple cultists; if you don't think that Macs are the best thing ever made/invented/created, then you must hate Apple.

Nobody cares. Have fun with your choice. I'm not concerned with you liking Apple, but I am concerned with you trying to sway everyone else away from Apple. Let them decide for themselves. People can see the price of the computer and if they choose Apple, they know what they spent and often know they could get something cheaper if they chose non-Apple.

Again, if you want to buy an Apple computer, PLEASE DO! They cost more, do not run any faster than a lower-price Windows-based PC, and do exactly the same thing. If the unique form-factor and Mac OS X are enough to justify the difference in price for you, then absolutely, buy it.
However, if you do buy it, please don't tell other people to buy one as well, and then when they ask about it, start telling lies about Windows-based PCs.

-Apple people are not in a "cult" and do not all think alike. Liberals, conservatives, rich, poor, black, white, all shades in between, nerds, actors, musicians, businesspersons, etc. all represent Mac users. We simply enjoy our experience so much that we want others to know a better way. For many it will be a better way but most are blinded by ignorance of Macs.

Are you ****ing kidding me? You just said that you don't all think alike, and then proceeded to describe the group-think mindset and sense of superiority that all Mac users have.
And again, another example of Apple cultist *********gery. Look at you..."we want others to know a better way." Get the **** over yourself, it's a computer, running on the same hardware, running many of the same applications, doing basically the same thing, with a slightly different interface.
Yeah, that's because there's like 17 Mac users out there. I guess when you have around 90% of the market, there's not many people left to jump ship to your side.
And once again, wrapping up your post, there's that Apple-fan-cult sense of superiority. You people seriously think that it is your purpose in life to convert people over to your computing platform, and you'll say and do anything to accomplish that end.
