I just watched the January '08 Steve Jobs keynote where Apple CEO puts Microsoft on blast with a bunch of st*pid PC-Mac ads and Apple TV. WTH Steve? Didn't your mama tell you not to smoke pot anymore? Let me figure out once and for all why Apple sucks.

Approach

Apple puts the strees on the product look and feel in time when Microsoft enriches the products with features. Apple's consumers are simple users. They don't know much about computers. They think a nice icon can solve the problem. Apple take already implemented feature from Microsoft and give a new look and feel. Take a look at the Leopard time machine. It's nothing but a system backup implemented in Windows XP!

Apple would rather charge you for an additional icon than give you something free. I bought iTouch with 1.1.2 firmware. Now they release 1.1.3 with all iPhone apps including Mail, Maps, etc. If I and a bunch of other folks, who bought the gadgets before this January, wish to have these apps, we must pay $20 for an upgrade, thought we paid even more for the devices! You won't get an extra dime ouf of my pocket Steve! I'm gonna be jailbraking my iTouch forever!

OS

I'm pretty sick of the falks thinking Mac OS is something extraordinary and stable as opposed to Vista. It is stable because it's simple! You can't put an apple computer into a domain! There's nothing like Microsoft Exchage server in Apple world! Apple's security is totally unix - no multiple group policies, no access controls... Do you know why there are too few viruses and volnurabilities in the Mac OS? Because nobody gives a shit about it! It covers a small group of people in the world. Microsoft has over 70% OS share in the world! That's why it is the main objects for all the world hackers.

What about games? What is the Apple's share in the game industry? How many games are released for Apple? It's nothing in comparison to Microsoft! A real gamer would never pay $2200 for the Mac to be unable to upgrade it when the time comes.

Now try to write an Apple app. These's no documentation on the web. You don't even know where to start. Microsoft has all the documentation in one place - MSDN. The docs are public and free.

What about corporate and business solutions? Apple doesn't have a single! Microsoft has SQL Server, SharePoint, Exchange, Windows Server, etc. These products are being improved every release.

Hardware

I want to take this time out to clarify a huge gap in people's minds. Microsoft is solely a software vendor! It doesn't make hardware. Apple does! It controls the whole process from the physical manufacturing to the software deployment. It's silly to blame PCs because they are thick! It's st*pid to blame Microsoft because Acer laptops have bad heat control!

Freedom

Apple tries to keep you on the short hand. The music you purchase from iTunes can be played on iPod or Mac only! The DRM forbids music playback on any other player in the world! WTH? I bought this music! I own it! Why would a someone dictate me what to do with my property?! Besides iPod playes only MP3 and AAC. They decided not to support WMA.

You can't download anything on iPhone and iTouch except music. Now take a look at the Pocket PC - you can install applications on the fly! You can tune your WM-based device as much as you like. You can change the complete look and feel of it. And after all the modifications it will still be able to connect to the corporate network, Microsoft Exchange and other corporate services. When do you think iPhone will be capable of this huh?!

Conclusion

Apple is a pricy sh*t trying to take over the world by persuading blind people that a graphical interface is all they need. They sue everyone who thinks different! This is my personal oppinion that has nothing to do with my job, political insights and skin color.
