Most fanatical fanboy?

I use Linux, but I don't sit and bash Windows all day like many Mac Zealots, they often will support anything apple does, and buy anything apple releases. I own a mac and use windows and Linux, they all have purposes.
Easily Linux users. Sure, Mac users may be a bit fanboyish at times, but in their defense they are often fending off attacks from PC users. Linux users are the ones that usually instigate the Linux vs Windows debates.

Definitely not firefox, it's just a web browser. There are other web browsers that are reasonably comparable (like Opera).
I'd say Linux users are the most fanatical and want to get more "converts" than the Mac crowd. The Mac users think Macs are awesome, but at least they don't try to convince you that it's the best like some linux users.
Using linux for a long time makes you think very highly of your computer skills when they may only be slightly above average. It's nice that you can use a command line, but get over yourself guys! I've been using linux for quite some time but I still prefer MS Excel to Open Office (I use a VM, best of both worlds!)

An example of this blind support was back when Apple only used G4s and G5s and mac fanboys clearly stated that their processor was far superior than any Intel offerings because of the mhz myth. Yet, when Apple switched over to intel processors, there was little questioning over their actions. Questioning Apple, with some people, is akin to walking into the vatican and questioning the pope if their is no god.

Every niche has it's ignorant fanboys.
They are all equally Fanatical.
You have the Hardcore Linux nuts that are anti everything Microsoft has ever done, yet they haven't seen XP on 2K as they compare their 2.4 or 2.6 kernal linux distros to 95 or 98 or older NT releases.
You have the Mac guys who are not aware of the smell of their own excrement.
You have the Bose crowd who think Bose makes the worlds finest speakers.
You have the AMD fanboys who think the X2s are better than the Conroes.
You have the MS fanboys who claim their IIS server is more stable and/or efficient than a *nix based server.
You have the Google fanboys who believe google does no harm and is the most innocent company in the world.
Every "cause" has a following.
Lots of the followers are sheep.
Me,
I'll stick to the "best bang for the buck" category in CPUs (usually AMD wins this one, but Intel has been really really attractive as of recent with the lowwer end Conroes)
I'll run Linux on my Server, PVR, and Laptop, and Windows on my Gaming Rig and workstation at work. I'll Stick with Firefox as my browser because it runs great on my Windows and Linux boxes. I like how it looks and runs better then Seamonkey, and I haven't tried Opera in 3 or 4 years, but last time I did try, I was less than impressed.
Personally, I'm a BitchX fanboy. I hate mIRC even though I'm sure it's improved a lot since 1998 when I last tried it. (If I can't have BitchX then at least give me Epic!)

I notice there is very little criticizing of the AMD fanboys. Wonder why that is.....
Linux>AMD>MAC>FF

I personaly think that Mac are the best computing platform for the vast majority of tasks but I don't go around trying to convert people.
The less there are using them, the less likely people will be to write viruses for them.

Some of them are pretty bad however there are not many of them I come across. Fanatical Republicans outweigh them by a 5/1 ratio (if not more).
