Software or Hardware?

What computer would you rather use? A MacBook running Windows 7, or, say, a Lenovo ThinkPad running Mac OS X 10.7?

For me, the answers are easy. It’s the software that matters most to me. I’d pick a Nokia Lumia running iOS 5 over an iPhone 4S running any other OS, and I’d pick the ThinkPad running Mac OS X over a Mac running Windows. No hesitation.

How important is software to me? Put it this way, I bought and app to calculate how much I spend on apps.

Fanboys

Seriously, it’s 2012, and Apple has rocketed past Exxon Mobil as the most valuable corporation on the planet. You don’t get to that level of success driven along by a handful of dedicated, froth-flecked fans, nor do you achieve what Apple’s achieved by having a “cult” of people who will buy what Apple sells no matter what. Think logically for just half a second: Apple sold 37 million iPhones in 3 months. 37 million. If that’s a cult, it’s one damned huge cult.
