You're way over-reacting, I'd say. If he's attacking anything directly with those words, it is a certain type of Apple-product groupie.

And if saying that Apple products aren't perfect and the end-all-be-all is the same as attacking Apple then that's a low bar and definitely one that even casual Apple afficianados have engaged in with much enthusiasm.

And Microsoft may be a douchier company than Apple, but I'm hard pressed to imagine the argument that Bill Gates is a douchier person (over say the last 15 yeass) than Steve Jobs. At least on the level where any of us know either of them. That's not to say Steve Jobs is a horrible person, just that Bill Gates seems to be a pretty good one.
