There seems to be an incredible amount of polarity in tech discussions as of late-especially with that darling of tech topics to take a hardline stance with: Microsoft vs. Apple. The polarized completely love one and hate the other like a cold war enemy. This is good vs. evil.
Those voices seem louder than ever as of late. You may have heard them. Sentences usually start or end with something along these lines: “Apple is irrelevant,” “M$ is evil,” “F’ing Apple Fanboyz,” or “Windoze sux.”
Truth be known, both companies make products that are excellent. And, both make products which are lackluster. It largely depends upon the needs of the individual. One more thing—hold on to your chair—neither company is angelic, nor is either in cahoots with the devil.
Of course, we’ll never really know what Archie Bunker’s stance would have been for sure. On the computer my first instinct is to say that he and Edith would have a Celeron PC. But, who knows, maybe, just maybe after playing with Meathead’s iPod he’d head down to the Apple store and at least consider the options.
