The Double Standard
“My new Windows machine doesn’t support my 7 year old printer and my 6 year old computer with 64mb RAM runs SLOW. Microsoft is evil, PCs are crap, and I’m moving to a Mac!”
“My brand new Mac only supports these 5 video cards. Isn’t Apple great? They restrict what I can use so I don’t have to think! Oh, and they wisely made my 2.5 year old Mac obsolete so I knew it was time to upgrade.”
–
“PCs come with tons of software I don’t need…. M$ is trying to shove this mail thing down my throat. What if I want to use an alternative program, you fascists!”
“Macs come with tons of software I don’t need… but what if I want to use it someday? Apple is just looking out for me! Why would I want to use an alternative program, you fascist?”
–
“Why can’t my PC make french fries?! Windows sucks!”
“Having a proprietary output for my external video is a FEATURE.”
–
“What? Microsoft can’t mount .DMG files natively? LOL, Microsoft is lame!”
“Macs can’t write to NTFS; I blame Microsoft. Or George Bush. George Bush’s Microsoft machine!”
–
“The programs available to do this task on a PC don’t match my preferred methods. Microsoft sucks!”
“The programs available to do this task on a Mac don’t match my preferred methods. I blame myself for sucking.”
–
“UAC is the devil! Stupid program popping up to protect me against being dumb. I hate you, M$!”
“Requiring the admin password to do anything major is orgasmic! Thank you, Apple, for protecting me against being dumb!”
–
And so on. 
I’m half-joking… but only half.
