Recently, two of the biggest Apple advocates out there have officially announced their abandonment of the popular Apple OS.
The first is Cory Doctorow, sci-fi writer and co-editor for Boing Boing, an apparent Mac addict. The other is Mark Pilgrim, a software developer and writer. Both have made the 'switch' from Mac OSX to, not Windows, but Ubuntu. This Linux distribution has been growing in popularity over past years, as has Linux in general. There are some reasons for their change of digital heart. Pilgrim has said that Apples DRM (Digital Rights Management) and proprietary file format have started to become an ever increasing problem for him. Apparently, Apple has been turning into 'Big Brother' ever since the release of the iPod.
