You know I don't really get this sentiment. And I just think people hate on the Mac because they want to. I never saw the appeal of Linux. Yes, it's free, and I can buy a cheap PC to run it on but why would I do that? My Macbook Pro has the best keyboard I've ever used (the 2008 "pro keyboard", not the chicklet keys Apple uses these days) and the trackpad is better than ALL trackpads out there.
