I hate fanboi's

Yeah I know, I've been called a Microsoft fanboi a few times (mostly by Mac folks), but damn fanboi's REALLY piss me off. Almost as much as those rabid anti-Microsoft folks who don't like Microsoft simply because they are doing well... monopoly or not, they do make decent products. Vista, Office 2007, Xbox 360, Visual Studio, Exchange, SQL 2005 are all excellent products.

You know I've wandered over to http://sharikou.blogspot.com/ run by some guy who claims to be a PhD, yet was outted not long after claiming to be one, to NOT be a PhD. This guy makes even the Mac fanboi's look a little less insane... be prepared to laugh if you read the blog. Its simply stunning to see the crap he dishes out and some of his lapdogs who lick it all up... scary.

I started in the computer industry over 17 years ago. I was a Mac guy thru and thru until Apple screwed the company I was working for over. Since then I've used Windows, from Windows 95 on up to Windows Vista. I was lucky enough to be a Microsoft MVP for 6 years supporting both XP and Windows Server 2003. But I still managed to keep learning Macintoshes and more importantly MacOS X. I still own two Macs, a middle of the line iMac and a top of the line MacBook Pro. The iMac is running OS X 10.4.* and my MacBook Pro now runs Vista, since its more usuable with Vista on there now...

To say the least, I've been managing systems for a long time. I've been around HP hardware mostly, with some Dell stuff. From the 2500's all the way up to the C-Class blade chassis. From the 2450 to the 2950's and the 2550 blades. So I tend to speak my mind. When you work for a huge financial company you tend to use what you have to, so I've used Intel and AMD based servers (I now use mostly Woodcrest because of cost/peformance, especially now that the quad-cores are out), I've used SAS and SCSI, Windows and Linux... so yeah I tend to be opinionated, but chances are I've seen the stuff first hand...

I hate these idiots that stand blindly behind a product because its X or Y for no other reason. Its amazing watching some of the Mac idiots claim loyalty to Jobs because he is Apple and for no other reason. I hate the idiots that stand behind AMD because they are AMD. I hate any of the idiots that don't see the fact of the matter is that sometimes it just isn't the better product....
