I have the same problem with Apple.  FreeBSD for example did not get a
lot return for essentially providing the kernel that OSX runs on.  To me
it highlights Apples nature to not give back, as well as the weakness of
the BSD style licences.  Whoa, is that two flame war topics in one post
(even more impressive, I think I managed to squeeze them both into the
same sentence)?  :)  I think it is time I went to bed, this cold
medication must be affecting my judgement.

Just for the record though, I have owned both PCs and Macs (and one Sun)
machines.  The last Mac that I owned was from the 1st generation of OSX.
 Seriously this is the second worst laptop I have ever owned (HP has
that one sewn up).  The Mac people I know simply can not listen to
reason, and there is really no point trying to convince them.  Similar
to how I feel about Linux, except that I can admit that our world has
its faults and drawbacks.

In this spirit, I leave you with this:
