Are you sure he is not really saying that he is a Mac user, he loves
his Mac, he thinks MS products are crap, and he just refuses to use
MS products because it would undermine his loyalty to Macs ? He runs
a risk if he starts using MS products and actually finds he likes them
that he may eventually lose faith in Mac and become part of the
mainstream...
It wouldn't be the first time someone has taken this position no
matter how irrational it may seem. I love Ford cars and hate
Cheveys. I can't say why but I wouldn't own a Chevy if someone
gave me one. I would sell it and buy a Ford from the proceeds.
