To answer your question, because you probably annoyed them.
To further the conversation, I truly do feel the way you do. I know what you mean but I keep all those feelings to myself because I wouldn't want to hear it from anyone else. I am new to Macintosh computers and I am LOVING IT. I have always wanted to get one but my husband kept nixing it saying things like, "it's a whole new creature". Well, YEAH!! Duh. But I didn't rock the boat.
Well, we have one now, and I love the new creature. I love it very much. But I didn't throw out the PCs. Just relocated them. (I even just picked up an iMac G3 for my daughter's room for $50.00).
As much as I want to go to the tallest building and shout to the rest of the world that I love my iMac, I just keep my giddiness to myself
(Except for here--in this post--obviously)
Just don't talk to them about your computer so much or in such ways that make it seem like Macs are better than what they are using. You may inadvertently be putting them off (not that you mean to).
I'd have to agree. I can even see that a bit just reading the OP's post. Macs are great. Windows (haven't experienced the newest, but at least XP) is also great. Both aren't perfect. Both have their fanboys and they're all just as annoying.
It's great when I go to a LAN and people see me lay a Mac Pro down and still kick **** in Left 4 Dead with the Apple Mighty Mouse, though.
