Apple "chatter" as you call it comes naturally on a MSFT board. Apple is a fierce competitor of MSFT and therefore relevant.
There are opposing opinions on both as you well know--so why not let the discussions flow as they come up? It seems rather disingenious to take the high road in such a way ...considering the past. Another poster, i believe it was meme, welcomed discussions on both Apple and Microsoft. I, as a MSFT investor...but a dedicated Mac user, also welcome it.
I am looking forward to earnings report on the 17th and I am also lookfing forward to the G5 in the fall, which should really help boost the Mac user base.
