Can we file a class action against Apple?

[joshstrike]

We really are the Apple base. Without the design core that's been lionizing and proselytizing for them all these years, they'd be dead by now.

I'd like to see Adobe roll out CS6 for Ubuntu or some other linux flavor and tell Apple to stick it. Anyone like me who spends any serious money on overpriced Apple hardware, just so we can avoid using Windows, would sell every Mac on the premises and switch over directly. That's a promise.

[EDIT] @Hanratty, after reading your edit: Yes, consumer herd stupidity knows no bounds. On the one hand, that's the formula that I exploit as a matter of course in my work as a brand designer. On the other, I'll fight tooth and nail to prevent a world where we're moving backwards in terms of our productive and creative options. Unfortunately, there's currently no viable alternative for designers to the Apple ecosystem; and my hope that might change in the next decade is probably pissing in the wind. Whatever system I have to cobble together to be able to go on producing the systems and designs my company is making now, I will. But I feel sure that people like me represent enough of a market for someone to cater to. Say, with a slate that lets me write code long-hand in dreamweaver and Flex, and work in photoshop with pressure sensitivity, with a linux terminal, about 1/3" thick, built in 3G and a 10 hour battery life. What do I have to do, file a patent? Will no one come out with this thing? Wouldn't pretty much everyone on this board buy one tomorrow if it existed?
