<<2) Education means exposure, (I'm at UCLA & it does work, most design students after comparing systems still buy Macs despite the hype about Apple folding etc.)>> I would say that the chemistry department here at UCLA is 50/50 on Mac vs. Wintel for noncomputationally intensive work. Most research groups choose one platform and have one computer of the other. My lab, unfortunately has only one Mac, but that is also because the department has several nice Macs for graduate student use. I guess my point is that we are about equal in terms of market share. And we generally buy very nice, near top of the line machines for our research. For "real" work, he have a large number of Suns and SGIs, along with a few HPs. -Dylan
