I don't get why so many people not using Apple are constantly bashing Apple/Jobs for just being Apple/Jobs.
I used to radiate hate to Microsoft when I was using it because it affected me negatively on a daily basis from DOS 3.3 to WIN XP SP2. One of the reasons to make me switch to OS X in 2004 was that I never heard of any discontent Apple users, being not pissed by your computer was a concept that I didn't understand at that time.
Immediately after switching to Apple I stopped hating Microsoft because it didn't affect me any more. So why can anyone hate Apple or its management when you neither use it, nor does its tiny market-share affect you? Jealousy of the happiness of others?
There is so much anger in Windows-Users, I wonder where that comes from.

I've taken your post, respectively replaced a few words, and you have the same argument for Zune users.
"I don't get why so many people not using the Zune are constantly bashing Microsoft/Zune for just being Microsoft/Zune.
So why can anyone hate Microsofot or its Zune when you neither use it, nor does its tiny market-share affect you? Jealousy of the happiness of others?
There is so much anger in Apple/iPod-Users, I wonder where that comes from."
See what I did there? It goes both ways. For examples of what I'm talking about, look at the comments in http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=zune posts.
