Career Microsoft supporters like you tend towards a myopic view of customers. You believe that most businesses must use Microsoft when in fact that is far from the case. Owning and using a Mac in business and in creative pursuits is nearly always a more satisfying experience. The long term cost of ownership is generally lower on a Mac than a pc, there are way fewer technical problems and a much more intuitive interface for the typical user. It's one of the many myths in the market that buyers are primarily cost driven in their purchasing decisions. If this were true only the cheapest computers would dominate market. Most buyers only THINK they are cost driven until they learn all the advantages of a more user friendly and well developed system like the Mac. Then they start to rethink their budget.
