I did not see any fanboy posts, I saw people replying as to why they use the piece of software you decided to ask questions about. I am not justifying any sort of behaviour or responses, I particularly stated that personal attacks were unnecessary.OP was about backups, and Macrium was picked up because it is a favorite program for many. I posted my initial impressions and observations, but made it very clear that I have hardly used the program. Strange that people still construed it as a review.
You admit to making generalised statements based on very little research and experience about an application that many people use daily and have done for many years, what did you expect? You would have gotten similar responses if you had used Acronis or any other popular data backup program.
The fact you don't see the OP as a review or an attack on a particular piece of software or the parent company does not stop it being perceived as such by other readers, as proven by some of the replies to this thread.
You asked for opinions, you got opinions. :)
