What it boils down to is that:
- Microsoft has prporietary software
- Apple has proprietary software locked to proprietary hardware
See the pattern?

I can install Windows or Linux as my sole OS on my Mac anytime I want. A Mac is more similar to a regular PC than people give it credit for.
Anyway. there is nothing wrong with proprietary software or hardware, so I don't even see how it could be considered insane.
I like supporting FOSS for a different reason, because I like it. Plain and simple. I like the way it looks, I like the way it works, I like the way its super customizable, I like not having to pay out my nose for something and I like that I can try all sorts of distros and give them to my friends (If I had friends to give it too, lol).
But ideologically, I see no problem with Microsoft or Apple. I even like Steve Ballmer, having watched more videos of him on YouTube (the first one I saw of him was the crazy dancing one). (Does this make me a **M$ TROLL!** ?)
