Sir Patrick Stewart, known for his role as Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek and Charles Xavier in the X-Men films loves complexity. Stewart waxes on about Twitter, admitting that he does not Tweet nor has he ever Twittered. Reducing his life to 140 characters is just way too simplistic.
But watch how Sir Patrick lights up when he boldly goes where no actor has gone before, dramatically describing obsessive man-love for his "beautiful" iPhone as "An extension of who I am."
Apple could not have paid enough for this expression of devoted fanboy adoration from such a well respected actor. iPhone. Complex enough for Captain Picard.
Captain Kirk would never use Windows as a chick magnet--Macs are much sexier. Also, it is unlikely that the kind of technology that is a part of all the Star Treks' universes would even be possible using any Windows (past, present, or future) operating system. I can hear the other characters now:
Scotty: Captain, this (expletive deleted) system won't let me make the repairs to the warp drive! The bloody thing keeps crashin'!
Spock: To have such a system in charge of ship's operations is completely illogical.
Kirk: Whose idea was this Windows thing!?

That is a great commercial for Apple's iPhone (except for the end about gaming). They should hire him, or I think he would do it for free!

You can imagine that Capt Kirk would much prefer Windows. Frame rates in MMPGs would get him more chicks than a creative extension of the human spirit yearning to understand the universe.
"Scotty, I need warp drive now or we're all dead!"
"Captain, I can't. It's Tuesday, and I'm not done downloading patches!"

I've always known that he's in intelligent man. Love how he enjoys the iPhone. Wait till he gets his hands on the iPad. He's going to freaking love it!!!
