Apple devices stopped looking appealing to me when people around me

app store to MacOS, they will start controlling desktops and notebooks
in the same way most likely. Heck, even Microsoft doesn't try to take so
much control of a computer as Apple does.

For me it was that, and the fact Apple has a ridiculous markup on products
that bring less features and capability. I never bought into the iPhone hype,
finding I could do more with my ancient Treo and now, my Droid.
The macs are a disgrace. Why should mid-range PCs be priced like top-of-the-
line gaming rigs?
because ooh, shiny!
