Another way to make your voice heard is to use one of Apple’s many contact forms, or if you’re a dev, bug reporter/radar to tell them you want to virtualize client (and particularly 10.4, if you’re so inclined).

In that way, it is like voting. Don’t like someone’s product (or something about it)? Don’t buy it. Like something in it and want to encourage the manufacturer to continue? Buy it.

Don’t you have something more productive to do than troll on a blog?
