I'll use my cast off PPC Mac proudly, knowing that my OS is significantly more efficient than OSX.

I feel like that too when I fire up my old ZX Spectrum and compare how efficient it is to the bloat of the Amiga. Who needs an OS on 3+ disks that you have to wait to load?!

"For all the crap that gets layed out on Microsoft they have made some great products too"
 
Age of Empires and the expansions/later versions; I'll give them credit for that one (unless they stole this idea from someone like they do all their stuff).  Had way too many LAN party weekends playing that one.

Their infrared mice, original non rumble Sidewinders, MechCommander 2 (FASA really I guess) are also notably good. I don't think any recent hardware or software has caught my eye although I guess XBox 360 and controllers for some people would class as great products.
