[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 371021, member: 3889"] No, you're not talking crap. There's nothing wrong with people saying why they're unhappy or sorry they switched. There are any number of things Apple could and should do better, and that Windows does better. But if the reason they think so, for example, is because Apple's apps or an app by anyone else doesn't adhere to Microsoft's proprietary "web standards," or the fiction of OS "standards," letting it go without comment advances the MS myth in whole or in part, gives tacit approval to MS's unethical and illegal business practices, including mob-like strong-arm tactics and outright theft, and leaves the posters with the impression that errors made from ignorance is the truth. There is or should be no value judgment attached to ignorance unless it exists through laziness or is otherwise wilful. Ignorance, by itself, is not immoral — for lack of a better term — but neither is fighting it. Doing so, though, can be tiresome. There is one fairly recent post in another thread that is so outrageous in its assertions that I didn't know where to start. So I decided to ignore it. Chalk it up as a win for the Microsoft Big Lie.
