Being that the first browser ever, and the creation of the world wide web was on the derivitave of the MacOS (The NeXT OS), I think most of them know where it is ;)

be interesting if Apple entered the console wars, I mean imagine 4 major consoles on the market.

They are more rabid, because of their competition, and because most people who argue against them, argue from a position of ignorance (meaning they have never used a Mac, or have not used on in the last 4-5 years).

In the Sony vs. MS argument, there are strong cases for either system, thus each are usually more understanding of each other. In the Mac OS vs. Vista argument, Vista has nothing to stand on.

It would be like a Wii fanboy on this sight starting a post, explaining why the graphics capabilities of the Wii are far better than the 360 or PS3. If he was stupid enough to make that statement, he would get a lot of rabid responses.

Eh?

1- The NeXT OS is not a derivative of Mac OS, more like the opposite (actually not even NeXT OS, but NEXTSTEP).

2- When Tim Berners Lee made the first browser, NeXT didn't even have anything to do with Apple, they were only bought later.

Apologies if I got any fact wrong, but I think it's this way.

 Umm, I said it wrong. The OS that runs on a Mac today, is the same OS that ran on the NeXT systems. Apple bought NeXT, and turned their OS into OSX.

This is a good quick read on OSX

The original Newton-carrying Apple fanboys do, but not the new college age crowd.  I don't think anything pisses me off more than the 19-year old college girl who is obsessed with Apple and demands why you are not.  It's even more annoying when they don't even say why Apple is god. At least Ninty/PS/MS fans can put a sentance or two together arguing why their systems are the best. In my experiance Apple fanboys are all like this:

*I'm typing on my laptop in a public area*
Random liberal student: "You use a dell? Apple is so much better"
me: "Uh, hi... and sorry I prefer Windows"
him: "Oh please, Apple is so much better. Way to support the monopoly"
me: "first off, Apple has a monopoly with iPods so I wouldn't talk, and secondly: Name one thing Apple does better on a computer"
(I realize Apples are better at many things but I know this kid won't be able to list one)
him: "They're just better in every way.... and they don't get viruses!"
me: "I have never gotten a virus, its not that hard if your not a moron"
him: "whatever, Apples are soooo much better than windows... you just dont get it!"

Seriosuly. I want a punch a baby when I'm around those people. Preferably a baby listening to an iPod.

More on topic, I don't think Apple fans will be a big problem because Apple fans aren't gamers. Sony pulled in the frat crowd with games like GTA and sports franchises, and MS pulled in all the PC gamers and FTS games. Current Apple "fanboys" are mostly graphic arts majors and modern day hippies (no idea how why that group loves Apple, but it seems to be true). These people won't be flocking out in millions to support an Apple game system

oh no not this again

@eab: "no idea how why that group loves Apple, but it seems to be true"

Because they want to be different?
