Georgy Claims Mac Discrimination

Quote from Georgy:

But I just realized that Mac users are being discriminated against. I'm sure you're saying "what else is new?" or perhaps thinking "mac users deserve it." It's time for us all to join the mac users and fight Penn State who is sanctioning this behavior! Napster only provides Windows downloads and it's time for Steve Jobs to step up.

While I am a die-hard Georgyist, I must strongly disagree with her statement that Mac users are being discriminated against because Napster only provides Windows downloads.

Mac users aren't being discriminated against. When you buy a Mac, you are doing so with the understanding that you're buying a computer that has a smaller sliver of market-share. The reason why many companies choose not to support the Mac is because there is too much investment involved in making Mac apps.

I think that instead of Georgy telling Steve Jobs to step up to Mac discrimination, she should be telling Jobs to stop bleeding Mac consumers for every single cent they have by selling them not only overpriced hardware, but $120.00 operating system updates, that come about every year. If Jobs wasn't so fucking greedy, then maybe more people would buy Macs, which would create a bigger market for Mac software.

Furthermore, I might be wrong, but wasn't it Apple that was one of the pioneers of the paid music download service -- and didn't this only work for people who own Apples? If this is true, then using Georgy's argument, non-Mac users are being discriminated against by Apple.

I think that what is really going on here is that Georgy is using Napster as an excuse to bash Microsoft.
