it is something well beyond DU. From what I have observed the Mac folks might at times have been a bit smug and brought some of it on themselves, but that's just my observation.

I also believe it comes from the production issues surrounding Foxcon in China and their treatment of workers and perhaps the slowness of Apple to address the issue.

That and some folks just like to hate in general.

I have & use Mac products, I enjoy them, I find them to do what I need for me. If others don't like, use or want them, that is up to them. All corporations have issues which need to be addressed (name a human institution that doesn't) and those should be. If folks want to vent on this board, it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg.
