<<25 million Mac-users worldwide that, historically, have an 80+% repurchase rate
Does this mean that, unless 20% of Wintel users switch to Macs every
product cycle, we're talking 12 million Mac users in two cycles?>>

20% of Wintel users is a lot more than 8 million. If Mac only has 3% market share, then under 1% of Wintel users need to switch to keep 25 million users.
