I also believe most of these topics are just talk. But the point I was making is that whenever someone talks about "I'm leaving Mac for whatever reason" it blows up and everyone and their mom weighs in to give their opinion. It's not uncommon to have these on the frontpage. Why? Because most people use Mac so they have something to say.

However when someone says "I am moving away from windows because of X" it never hits the frontpage since most people don't care since they are not on windows.

This is obviously not great quantitative research. But if I go into any co working space or coffee shop where people work on their laptops. I find a lot of people on macs, and all the technical ones are on HN. Whenever I meet technical people with a windows laptop they are never on HN.

I thought this was quite well established that HN is very apple'y, so I'm having a hard to come up with proper data to back this up.

What about you? You think the opposite?
