They don't hate it, it's just not the right market for them. Netbooks are targetted at the low end of the market, and apple doesn't want to compete in races to the bottom.
Google the company, find out everything you can. Some good companies and good jobs are commission only, but the quick "I'll help you" and "off to meet the mayor" etc have a bad vibe for me. My wiife used to be support staff at an MLM and those people give me the willies.
