The ipod and iphone hype probably also pushes the sales of Macs. But I heard so often in the last 15 years that Microsoft is running into problems in the near future that I am only willing to believe this when I see a significant decrease of their revenues. As it seems now their cash cows Windows and Office are performing as well as they always did. Apple is certainly doing fine at the moment.

The geek brain drain is evident...I have 5 friends that would be considered computer geeks and 1 year ago all of us were using winxp. Today, I am the only one using winxp because as a system admin myself that is what my company uses and has no plans to change. As for the other 5, 4 have moved over to the mac and 1 is using Linux after all were disappointed by Vista. Vista SP1 better be one hell of a service pack. In fact, it better be the best service pack that MS ever created because I'm seeing the brain drain around me and I'm starting to feel lonely. Another example, this past weekend I went to my local Compusa and my local Apple store. Even though the Compusa must be 20 times the size of the Apple store, the Apple store had many many more people shopping. I noticed that no one was shopping for a pc at the Compusa while I was there. The only place MS is safe at the moment is in the Enterprise because most move at a snail's pace when switching platforms. Micheal,
