Someone with a different opinion to yours is not necessarily speaking b0llocks. And there may just be others who have an insightful knowledge of the computer industry, even if you consider yours unsurpassed.
OK, you have worked in an AppleCenter. I'm glad you liked it.
I am Chairman of an international group of software companies which decides on a regular basis which OSs to support on new product. In order to do this we have to we well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of MS, Mac, UNIX/LINUX and AS400, as well as the different internet technologies.
I would say that the requirement to run an emulator before you can run the bulk of the specialist software available is an error-prone kludge, error-prone for both technical and user-related reasons. (The user must learn two environments.)
You may have the opposite view...fine, let's discuss it. But let's not discuss it by announcing each other's informed opinion as b0llocks and disinformation.
One of the nice things about this forum is that people are civilised on their discussion for most the time. It would be nice to keep it so. It certainly doesn't behove you to be the one that lowers that tone.
You may be the big cheese round here, but that doesn't give you the right to be a playground bully.
