Who ARE these people you mention? I know dozens of Mac users (all quite 
computer literate, thank you), who all seem to have a pretty level 
attitude about computing in general (many are Unix geeks). I never hear 
any of that sort of stuff from them. On the contrary, we knew about the 
upcoming Intel shift over a year before it was announced. It was common 
knowledge that Apple was maintaining an x86 build of all versions of OSX 
since the beginning. 

You hang out in some weird circles, since all the Mac users I know of 
(including myself) routinely operate with multiple platforms and have a 
pretty good handle on what's going on in the industry. Hell, I'm in the 
process of shutting down my last Mac server (and moving its services to 
a Ubuntu server). 

We use Macs because we like them for use to which they are put. I wonder 
if all this rabid "Steve Jobs worship" doesn't spring from your 
imagination.
