This kinda reminds me of when the hapless evangelist wanders into the
Atheist forum determined to convert the heathens.

I use Microsoft for work because its a windows-centric environment and
I need to know the software that I'll use as part of a research team.
But I'm working on becoming expert in open source educational
software. To paraphrase Stallman, I choose not to trade my freedom for
convenience.

You know all the arguments against Apple already, no need to rehash them :)
This says it well:
