Znv - Why Wintels don't line up to buy Macs ?

Its changing . WWDC reassured the faithful but also unveiled a new weapon - " peripheral compatibility "

From MacOS rumors:

" MOSR has received reports from many other readers about other
companies who are developing USB peripherals -- a mountain of
them, in fact, as USB is now the Wintel standard, and with
forthcoming Mac support, it's the logical choice -- and are planning to deliver solid Mac OS support. It appears as though another piece of the cross-platform compatibility puzzle is falling into place..... "


Nobody wants to throw away good gear .

With industry standard USBs , AGPs , and PCIs , PowerPC Macs will be acceptable as enterprise desktops using a cross-platform MacOS X .

Till then , as S. Jobs suggests ,its low hanging fruit season .

Regards,
Jim K.
