| NightStalker said: when poeple love a company's products it starts to turn into love for the company itself. sometimes I find myself being all fan crazy of Apple because I love my Macbook. it just happens. |
And I love my Macbook, too. In fact, I'm typing on it now. I also love my iMac, iPod, and the iTunes Store. But that doesn't change the fact that Steve Jobs is a dick and that Apple is out there for your money, that's it. They're just another company and if they stop offering me what I want or need, I will go elsewhere for my computing solutions.
The same applies to Sony, MS, Nintendo, etc. I show a company as much loyalty as they show me; ie. I buy the products that cater to my wants as long as they provide them to me. As soon as they stop doing that, my loyalty ends completely.
I've been a diehard Apple user for almost a decade now because I love OSX and I like the form factor, hardware stability, etc. But that doesn't stop me from openly mocking the company when they do something foolish (their over-hyping of Mighty Mouse, for example).
