Linus Torvalds says you have a disease.

Actually, MS had to provide the drivers because they violated the GPL. MS tried to play it off as a goodwill gesture, but really it was to dodge a lawsuit.

Exactly, glad someone chimed in with the true scoop.

Can't say if I agree or disagree with Linus because I didn't actually read the article. I would tend to say I disagree, hypothetically speaking. Then again, I hate Apple only slightly less than Microsoft. The App store is a good example of why Apple with complete control would be a terrible thing.

I actually do like Apple's products generally, but they can be real jerks as well. 10.5.7 has been pretty bad, especially the way Apple destroyed HDMI output and there has been very little discussion from Apple regarding a fix. Don't get me started on Linux and I actually like Linux. Guess I should say I don't care for most MS technologies and have a love/hate relationship with Apple/Linux.
