Apple has great taste. That's the message I get. From their product design, to their retail outlets, to their new spectacular corporate headquarters. Go Apple.

@Cesar Aquino  Yes, but my experience is that office dwellers can fight over anything - quality of office chair, size of desk, number of secretaries, break fridge, style of coffeemaker, etc., etc. .
