I don't recall ever saying Apple is entitled to blind loyalty, as I'm sure not blindly loyal to them. I can switch at any time, as I realize a computer is a tool, not a lifestyle.
Yes, it is a tool and if possible I would like to avoid replacing all my drill bits (read software) if entirely possible. I would rather my company to make a more modern version of that drill (read computer) or let another company do it for them if they're no longer interested in that market.
