MacUser writes of satisfaction:

ComputerWorld reports that ChangeWave Research has posted a study on satisfaction levels for corporate users of Leopard and Windows Vista. Not surprisingly, Leopard users are altogether much more satisfied than Vista users—in fact, Leopard users are 5 times more likely to say they’re ‘very satisfied’ than Vista users. Ooooh.

The Macelope scoffs:

Now, any idiot can see the problem with surveying people who’ve already admitted to using the Mac.

They’re Mac users! They’ve already drank the Kool Aid! They drank it all up! And possibly drank yours!

Their responses simply can’t be trusted because they’ve already fallen victim to Steve Jobs’ voodoo powers.

After Windows hell, Abs gushes:

thank the Lord I can swing around in my desk chair and get back to work on my Mac! (I love you, Steve Jobs!)

Hank posts on Jobsian testicular fortitude:

The brilliance of iPhone is in its politics, and that credit must go personally not just to Apple as a company, but to Steve Jobs as an individual. Steve understood intuitively that Apple could do something that perhaps no other company in the world could do, which is to shift the dynamic between the handset manufacturer and the carriers by delivering a useful product in a cesspool of cell phone crap….Not being in the market to start with, which some pundits viewed as a disadvantage, was actually Apple’s greatest strength. They were unafraid to uncompromisingly deliver a radical shift in the market. And they were willing to Apply their substantial engineering and design resources to the task. Their outsider perspective allowed them to think *purely* in terms of what the world should look like – not the way it is. Correction – not the way it *was*. At the end of the day, Apple changed the market forever, in part because Steve had a little bit of vision, but more importantly because he had a pair of *****…..

Another convert at The Lisa Blog:

Macbook is all sorts of wonderful. The LCD is making me weep with joy. It’s scary though because I think they make my photos look way, way better than they are. I might pass out if I see them again on another computer. That’s not my work! It cannot be! [Insert further drama queen hysterics here.] Oh, whatever. I’m looking forward to working with this. It is beautiful, brilliant, and mine, all mine. Conjugal property? What’s that?

MINE.

That is all.

P.S. We’re eating soup every meal of everyday for the next year so you better not fail me, Steve Jobs.

And the comment by Princess Pointful rocked:

I love my Macbook with a passion generally not found for inanimate objects.
*swoon*

And one from the iPhone side:

I’m a sucker. But I’m a sucker in love. It truly is a thing of beauty. I can’t keep my grubby paws off of it. I geek out with my co-workers who also gave into the dark side, and we compare new things that we learn all the time. I might love it more than any Apple thing I’ve ever known.

I even sewed a custom case from a recycled silk tie, while I dream up a knitting pattern for it.

And this flckr posting had me in stitches (photo to follow):

Looking back up into the auditorium during class this morning – I feel like Steve Jobs at a developer conference.
