4) you forgot the linux admins who like OSX because it is UNIX, they can use the command line, and they love the multimedia aspects of it too. It's like a super cool linux. Microsoft is like super UNCOOL linux. They can put drab linux on their servers but admin them with a fun MacBook. These are the influencers. n general, removal of the voodoo-like comparisons which have raged between the Apple/IBM/Motorola and Intel camps for years (creating confusion and hurting Apple sales IMO) is a good thing. At different times, different architectures ruled. Now, the average customer can compare an Apple to a Dell or whatever and see the true price differential and base the decision on it's merits rather than FUD. IT still rages among the old fogies. But more and more younger people see a MacBook or Probook as a good solid machine. The image of Mac people as fussy or snobby is fading fast.
