    Default Mac users

    we all know apple is trying to get as many sales as possible (like any company) and are slowly getting more and more users.
    now my questions is if apple's fate rested in your hands would you
    A: Let it become as popular windows
    OR
    B: leave it as it is eg. not as popular still only 10%? of the market

    i personally would keep it low i feel that being a mac user your part of a "special group" of people not every 2nd person that you meet like a window'suser. Call me selfish but thats the way i like it.
    What would you do with mac?

    I would like Windows user's that say "Well, Apple is too expensive" get their facts straight. Most apple laptops are cheaper or the same price as other notebooks. and they don't come with a bunch of crapware or Trials, either.

    LOL come to the UK and say that. Just wait to see how long it takes for the price tag of a Mac to slap you in the face...
    (you won't have to wait very long).
    Macs are very expensive in this country, are your facts straight?

    Guys,

    What I should have said was Windows users in most parts of the US ... Sorry about the misleading info.

    I honestly could care less about their market share, as long as they keep doing what their doing then they could have 100% 10% 1% doesn't matter to me cause they have great stuff.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a mac fanatic, but they are expensive. All their good computers are $1000+. The only exception to that is the crappy Mac Mini. From experience, I know Macs are faster, simple, easy, productive, and time saving. They have a nice platform, and once you get used to it, its hard to go back. One reason I think Apple is sort of failing is because Leopard and all other Mac OS's only work on Mac comps. Look at windows, it can go on just about any computer even mac! Bill Gates was smart enough to sell his OS to other computer/laptop makers instead of making his own.

    Well, truthfully, I have Windows XP, right? Very powerful gaming computer, but I want the Mac OS X Leopard so bad that I skinned my XP to look like and act like a Mac. I can show you a picture of my desktop if you all want.

    See if Mac came out with a Gaming PC(OR all around PC) then it might be useful in buying.. Hence why not many young people have them..

    Mac Pro
    Nvidia GFX card or ATI
    Windows XP + Bootcamp = FTW
