Not a single cent of my money.

I stopped using Apple products when they started to lock down the iPods (by using encryption) and tied devices to a specific installation of iTunes.

And do not even get me started on the closed platforms that are the iPhone or the iPad (i.e. the Apple Store).

The amount good will this company has with consumers is staggering.

Yes, I could have stated it more friendly:

I disagree with Apple's policies so I do not buy their products. On some level I also do not understand why not more people are bothered by Apple.

Because the things you think are important just aren't to most people.
