Its like some of you invented it, why take things so personal?
I have a mac, we have 4 iphones in our family and 3 ipads. We also have 3 windows pc/laptops.
If someone tells me apple is crap, or a pc is crap i just laugh. If domeone calls me an apple fanboy i dont really care. They can argue all day long about specs but in the end it comes down to the person using it. If he/she likes it, even when he/she tells me its way better when its not, why get all worked up about it?

I'm not worked up in the least. As far as why people - like myself - bother to get into these debates... I'm passionate about technology and pretty much everything to do with computers. Therefore, I don't mind giving facts, sharing opinions or even getting involved in debates.
When it comes right down to it, I don't particularly care what OS, hardware or otherwise that people choose to use, or like better. I will, however, interject and attempt to inform - or otherwise ridicule - people who try to declare as fact something of which they have absolutely no actual knowledge whatsoever about.
Look at it this way. Say you're a firing range instructor and you're trying to explain the proper way to hold a handgun. I simply flat out refuse to listen and maintain the absolute position that holding a handgun sideways is the proper way to hold it "because it's better", even though I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about firearms. You would likely try to explain it a few times, eventually you'd want to slap me upside the back of my head if I refused to admit my ignorance on the matter; and maintained that I am right and you are wrong, even though countless facts have proven me wrong over and over again.
