It could be that the big reaction in the Windows camp is because there are many more Windows users than there are of any other operating system. If/when Apple changes the Mac UI, will there be such an outcry? Most likely, but not as loud. Why? Because there are much fewer users of the Mac than of Windows. (Same with Linux/Unix.) So, the more users, the more opinions that will be expressed. And this just goes to show that Windows users have just as much passion as those using other operating systems. And, since there are more of them (us), it is much loudere. This should put a smile on Microsoft's face.
