Its now an issue of how Mac approaches their attack of the market. They're doing an excellent job with getting the attention of college students, with Edu. deals...If you walk into any campus bookstore in North America you'll see poster ads for iPods and Macbooks. Walking around the library you'll find that there are all the sudden a hell of a lot of macs being used by students.
The students of today are the business people of tomorrow, and if they're already using mac...theres a good chance that they'll continue the trend when they migrate into the workforce.
This would be true except to try to come out of school and walk into a business and say "you know I was working on a Mac at school so can you get me one for here as well."
The IT guy is going to look at you and say sit down and use the PC that we just built for you. We are not going to go through the hassle of integrating a Mac for a person just out of school and then have to learn how to troubleshoot all the problems that can come up with it.
