To clarify - I don't like the business practices of Apple and Microsoft. I like diversity in the marketplace - not monopolies. However - I use Apple because their stuff allows me to do what I need to do. I also support many small companies and contribute to some open source projects. Eventually, I'd prefer to be able to support only smaller companies and open source projects. So I always like to encourage (verbally, financially or by contribution) smaller companies with good customer engagement and fair pricing, open-source projects and companies that develop for Linux.

Don't agree? That's cool.
