That's also one reason I tend not to use Apple products.  I've always mainly been a PC user (originally used DOS in the early 90s, then went to Windows, and lately I also use Linux).  I've bought a couple Macs in the years since they moved to Intel, but I never used them enough to want to switch to Mac.  Years ago I also used to have an iPod Touch but no longer have one since I started using Android smartphones.

I find it interesting that some people have moved from Windows to Mac and swear by it though..  I've heard people say they've had all kinds of problems with Windows and now they use Mac and don't have to worry about all that.  Personally I haven't had any big issues with Windows for a long time.  I also tend to like building my own desktop PC, and you can generally get any hardware device working in Windows (and it seems Linux as well, to a large extent).
