Mac and Windows loyalists are known to debate endlessly the technological merits of the two platforms. That's always fun, but judging from the reader response, our post this week on Apple and Steve Jobs bowing out of Macworld Expo has raised a different and more interesting question: Which has the stronger sense of community?
The issue came up in the post when we asked Seattle journalist Glenn Fleishman about Macworld Expo's meaning.
"It's a real source of community," Fleishman said. "There's no such community in the Windows world. There are people who use Windows and there are communities of interest in the Windows world. Linux may be a little more similar to Mac in that sense, even though it's more of a technical nature. But you don't have the same feeling of affinity."
