I believe this poll will be very skewed towards Apple, since they have a very small userbase as compared to Microsoft! :shiftyninja:

But the iPhone and iPad have a very large market share in the their respective markets. Plus their is the iPod which everone seems to have.

I really think Google fanboys are the worst. They can be as blindfolded as Apple or Microsoft ones but have the tendency to think themselves tech-savvy and morally superior on the basis of the don't be evil garbage.

Oh yes, yes. And as the Apple users just want their stuff "to work". If you need a computer with training wheels, by all means go with Apple: An environment for simpletons. By your logic, this statement is correct.

It's a tough choice...I've seen a lot of fanboys here...I don't even read comments that deal with Windows or Mac. Linux fanboys aren't as bad, but I think it also has to do with there being fewer of them. Smaller user base, means fewer fanboys.

Apple fanboys tend to have an unfounded hate for other companies' products whereas other fanboys tend to be able to back up their love/hatred with facts and evidence

I voted Microsoft, as I thought it a toss in the air kinda thing, but after reading that comment...I have to agree with that...

There are a lot of fanboys who have no facts at all, and make things up, or think they know what their talking about when they don't, but you do have a point..

Though I still feel it's a toss between Microsoft and Apple. Google fanboys are however getting worse..

No, not really. The smaller in number they are, the bigger trolls they are. That's what I generally find. Being in the minority brings out some sort of deep fanboyism in them. :)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
