Apple is the new Microsoft.

Apple is the new Microsoft.

I just read this comment on CNET, about the fact that you can't even download the iPhone/iTouch firmware update:

How come when Apple does something like this, all the Mac Faithful don't fry them w/ the same intensity that they do to EVERY OTHER non Mac brand???? Methinks that they are truly crazy.

Let's add to the list. Making iTouch owners pay for upgrades, getting in bed with AT&T's evil pricing plans, releasing janky updates that aren't fully tested ... how exactly are the houses of Jobs and Gates any different?

P.S. Downloaded the new iTunes yesterday. It plays nice on my work computer but freezes on my home laptop every time I try to connect an iPod to it. Grrrrr. Apple, you officially suck.
