Anyone else find it kind of strange that Mac users need to compile lists? Since when did the Linux or Windows community need to compile lists of famous people that used their operating systems?Who cares, you use what YOU like, not what famous people are using.

He only uses his for porn, so he didn't make the list.

I'm pretty sure that anyone claiming that "only gay people use macs" isn't really looking for a logical argument/debate....

I think Linux users probably have enough things to compile whithout needing to resort to celebrity lists...

They forgot John Mayer too. These are both pretty obvious ones.

No, I actually love Macs. My first computer was an Apple back in 1994, and even though they were pretty much churning out crap in the mid-90's, I loved it.My next purchase is definitely going to be a Mac; the power of *nix with the sex appeal of Apple? Can't beat it. I specifically left out naming a specific operating system because people should just judge for themselves which operating system "works" the best for them.I just don't like somebody telling me to use a product just because somebody else uses it. It's completely asinine.

and Michael Dell. He's quite a bit more famous than either Linus or RMS, at least as far as the general public is concerned.

Because most IT people aren't famous. Bill Gates is only famous because he's effing rich. And Steve Jobs is only famous (if you could even call it that outside of the geek population) because he's been referenced in a couple SNL skits as head of Apple. There are a few others mixed in there, but the list of people that are famous to geeks is very different than the list of people who are famous to typical people.
