To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don't want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It's much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.

Apple looks more like a cult, similar to Scientology. Linux user as well.

Linux is a cult with an exit, apple is a cult that most don't acknowledge as a cult and there's no real exit

Well... cults with an exit are just groups of people.

Yes, Linux is mostly just a bunch of passionate people

Was going to say that I don't have the energy to be passionate about anything these days, but then I realised I'm quite happy - almost passionate, you might say - to turn that dispassion towards large organisations like Microsoft.
