Having to use Mac OS in the first place isn't being shafted enough? The way Jobs treats the fan-boys (who lap it up) looks like a good, hard shafting to me.
Me thinks you just had some crazy wack experience, and that you'd like Apple if you gave them a decent try. But go ahead and tell of your experiences, its good to get things out in the open. What did Sir Stevie do to you?

Yes, if you're feeling all disgruntled at Nokia, buy your tablets used. That way you get to enjoy using your tablet, rant about Nokia, and not have to worry about them getting any of your money.

But those times are long past. In real terms there is very little performance difference between macs and "pcs" from a performance point of view. My £300 custom amd pc running linux (even XP) performs just as well as my friends £1500 mac.

Besides, fanboy baiting is just fun
But this is neither the time nor the place for this discussion.
