Not sour grapes but perhaps a relic from the old days. Apple users tended 
to be artsy-fartsy types. I wouldn't be surprised if they still tend 
toward the left end of the scale and like their safe, curated environment.

Like I said I never had reason to use Apple products other than a Shuffle 
my boss gifted one Christmas. That introduced me to iTunes which truly 
sucked on Windows. My personal selection of MP3 players are those that can 
be loaded directly as a storage device.
