I feel Apple has the potential to grab 40% of the computer market. I do firmly believe one of the reasons Apple is garnering so many switchers now is that Macs have the ability to boot into Windows with Apple's Boot Camp, or run it in OS X at reasonable speeds with Parallels. That makes it an easy sell to people nervous about going cold turkey with Windows right away. However, I'm also unsure how many people are even aware Macs are capable of that feat currently. Rumors indicate Boot Camp will be installed by default with Leopard, so you just bring your own flavor of Windows to the game and install it. If they market that aspect of it, even a little, it could push Apple to the all important 10% level in a couple of years. Momentum tends to feed itself. Apple took many years to <censored bodily function> away their 20% market share they had in the 80's. Now Jobs has righted the ship and turned it around. It will take many more years to get back to that level. I think it can be done, but it will be a long road.
