Given the sheer number of things that Apple does, it's not exactly hard to say that at some point in the future, Apple will be disliked.
I've wanted to play around with their laptops, iPods, and iPhone, but everytime I start looking into it the price scares me off. I've been more than happy staying away from both MS and Apple products, but at least the Apple ones pique my interest slightly.
not to mention that apple machines are both stable, secure, and easy to use. windows can only claim easy to use (i grew up on it) while most unix distros can't claim to be easy
" Early iPods had terrible battery life and sound quality"
that is no longer the case and they were still better than anything out on the market when they first came out
btw - clever name... reminds me of nsx2
