Confess your sins!

I'm a fan of Microsoft. I have a microsoft headset that cost £15 that has served me well for about 3 years, awesome sound quality and really comfortable. I have a windows mobile phone (ok yeah bad move :P), run windows 7 on every machine in the house and will get a WP7 phone in the future if it turns out to be a decent OS. Microsoft keyboards are the best I've used (to be fair I've only used Microsoft, HP and Saitek) and they own.

No flame wars please, make love not warcraft :D

No. I use all sorts of different brands although I do feel that most apple products are overpriced for what they are and there are similar if not better alternatives out there for a fraction of the price.

Not reallly... I see the pros and cons in all things rather than just outright blast everyone, but I do have allegiance and preference. I like Creative Products, but would rather buy certain things like keyboards and so forth from elsewhere.

At the moment I'm going through an HP stage - monitor, desktop, keyboard and mouse. I won't get an HP speaker system because I "believe" Creative are superior in my needs :) If that makes sense? :P

Absolutely not. I use whichever is most useful to me to get a task done with the least pain possible. I would say I have brand loyalty to some companies (Valve in particular) but I wouldn't say I am a 'fanboy' of it.

I've started taking a liking into Apple products. They're overpriced, but they're amazing to use. I regret selling my iPhone to buy my iPad, but I love my iPad to pieces.

I'm a fanboy in terms of games console. Just don't see what Microsoft offer that Sony doesn't. (:

Funny, my sister has had 3 creative mp3 players and they all broke on her within 6 months :P

What did she have? None of my ones broke for no reason. One snapped because I squashed it, and another saw a magnet. The other two still work :D

Lol, not the best names :P Was it the credit card sized Zen? The stone and the Zen Mini were dreadful. The original Zen that came out around the iPod Mini was amazing :D

No, not at all. I'll use anything and will enjoy anything providing the spec is good. I'm using Windows 7 as an OS but I'd happily use a Mac, I do want one and I'd happily use an iPhone or any other phone... I'm not fussy.

Other than that I go for whatever's best.

I'll try and be as honest as possible, no cruel comments please!

I really liked Microsoft a lot to the point of fanboyish, until Vista.

I wouldn't say I'm a Apple fanboy, as I don't buy apple everything. I compare OS X to being better than Windows, in which other people call me a fanboy from doing so, despite the fact that I've spent more money even recently on my Windows computers :P

I love Microsoft mice a lot. However I use the magic mouse for the ridiculous amount of shortcuts you can use with gestures with a third party app. If you couldn't use third party apps to do this then the mouse is pointless, and has little to offer.

I also really love Android, and HTC's N1, but that doesn't make me a fanboy!

I'd probably say I'm an Apple fan boy now days.. Got an iPhone 3G, MacBook Pro and getting an iPhone 4 tomorrow (selling 3G to them)

I've always been on the fence with consoles, just got all of them and took the good bits from each.

-only just realized what my username on here is.. obvious much? iFail-

Not really, but I do prefer Microsoft to others, and I really cannot STAND Apple. I actually hate them.

Savings on what? If you use Xbox Live you end up paying more over the life of the console, even if the original purchase price is less.
