There is a lot of narrative being built around Apple = good, Microsoft = bad.
I, as an Apple aficionado, had to learn the truth piecemeal and understand that there really is a reality distortion field around Apple.
You can't really trust much of what the fanboys will say. They say anything to make Apple look good and save face.
I believe it comes from the cognitive dissonance of buying hardware that is so much above competitive market price, there is a need to build a lot of stories about moral superiority and things like that.
