The Problem with Mac Fanatics: Revisited

Father JobsI must work in cycles, because three days off from a year ago, I wrote an article for Apple Matters, called Apple Zealots Hurt Apple for which I was dutifully flamed by the dazed-by-Steve's-aura crowd.

In any case, this morning, I stumbled across this post in my meanderings around the Internet. The post ends nicely with this bit: "Computers are machines, not badges or status symbols. The Macs a very good machine too. Its a great shame that its genuine advantages over the opposition are often overshadowed by the zealotry of a highly vocal minority. They are, if only they knew it, the best allies Microsoft could ever hope for. "

I whole-heartily agree. What do you think? Do the Apple fanatics among us do more harm than good?
