^^^ Mac has ALWAYS had that attitude. Steve Jobs has a stiff butt when it comes to his business practice. Mac just has a host of its own problems and a few more clashes of preference when it comes to their computers. One of the funnier things I noticed about their laptops was that the thinner they got, the more quirks the laptops had. For example, if the laptop gets thinner, the amount of tilt you can have with the screen decreases. So if you're a taller fellow, and you want a slim Mac, like a Mac air, you're out of luck with being able to sit with it on your lap. You'll have to hunker down just to see the screen. And worse than that, if you lifted up the Mac Air's screen from the corner? The darn screen would crack.
There's also the issue of customization with Macs. Macs are VERY hard to customize on your own. They build it with technology they deem sufficient, stick a high price tag on it just because they built it, and ship it out. And if you want a better video card than the one they give you, you'll have to either send it in, or break your warranty and try it yourself. And that's easier said than done. Just about the only things you can upgrade are the hard drive and the memory. What a joke...
Then there's the problem that Macs aren't even very easy to game on. There are Mac versions of a lot of games, sure, but Macs weren't made for gaming. They're all still really strong when it comes to art, photography, video editing, and stuff like that. There are just so many preferential things and little niggling problems that make me not want to buy a Mac. And their attitude is the icing on the cake.
