I don’t normally dig into the tech mainstream in this blog, but Mike Arrington’s Techcrunch article on his woes with Apple devices and services does catch my attention for the following reasons:

1. It’s a pretty high profile complaint about Apple.

2. I am quite surprised about the number of failures that he lists in his blog post.

I have very little experience with Apple’s products, although I know a number of people who absolutely love them.

For my part, I’ve never found a compelling reason to switch from the Microsoft world to Apple, mainly because my work environment is 100% Microsoft and I’m very comfortable with that.

It does concern me that Mike is using his personal experience as the yardstick to base a significant part of his opinion. However, he isn’t alone in expressing these opinions.

For my part, I’ll be curious to see if Apple reacts publicly to Mike’s article. My gut says no, but we’ll see.
