Why I Love Apple Products…

I was going to just post my predictions for MacWorld, but I thought that I’d better quantify where I stand.

I’m a cultist.  I’m obsessed.  I’m a fanboi.  But not of Apple (necessarily)…   I think that everything that I use should be three things:   consistent, simple, and beautiful.  I crave consistency, I feel that “less is more,” and I think that beauty can be defined.  I also want a product that does what it is supposed to do.

Those four principles are why I use Apple’s hardware and software.  It fits those four qualifications the best.  Apple has made poor products, but I said “the best” not “perfectly.”

So if an obsession with a consistent, simple, and beautiful UI that does what it is supposed to do (and doesn’t get in my way) has made me an Apple ‘fanboi’  …  I’ll take it as a compliment.

And…if in three years, Geindour (a fictional linux distro) can support a better UI, I’ll give it a try.  Because Apple and the Mac OS isn’t perfect.
