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. :)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
