That's the general attitude of most non Mac users, I know cause I was one. The thing is having a Mac getting attacked or taken down is very very very seldom. It's rarer than a heavily protected PC getting taken down. I hate the whole Mac image, but it's just simple fact that us Mac users are statistically less likely of having someone get into our shit than you guys. Bitch and moan all you want, but mathematics is not on your side.

I don't hate Microsoft. I don't have a boner for them either. They did what was best for the computer market in general. Apples would cost 10k without Microsoft/Intel/IBM doing their thing. Microsoft is actually one of the best things to happen to the world. Without them pushing Apple, I doubt we would have iOS, ipods, ipads, and iphones.

Well, they pushed Apple into Intel PC hardware standardization, which is responsible for dropping the costs of Apple's products dramatically. It forced them away from their proprietary hardware, and onto the lower cost Intel platform.
That cut costs by fucking half right there. The truth is, Apple had always been a software company, but they thought they were a hardware company. Now, realistically, they have evolved into a design company. That model seems to be working, and in terms of cost is way more efficient. They seem to be on a roll with successful product designs for a while now.

I like the form factor, and the design. Compatibility is also paramount in what I do. Apple's hardware (with rare exception of late) offers that almost flawlessly. Other brands haven't delivered that well in this regard, so for me it's worth the premium for what I do. I also often need cross-platform compatibility, which it delivers positively top notch as well. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. Apple laptops continually rank as the very fastest Windows machines available. Hate if you want, but you don't look bright doing it. Computers all suck. The trick is finding the one that sucks the least for what you need it for. If it costs a bit more, but it just plain works for you, then it pays for itself.
