Does that tell you about the type of people that are abandoning Windows in favour of a Mac?
It only proves to me that Windows Vista and 7 are lousy or at least not what a lot consumers wanted after XP.
It also could suggest that the previous $3000 to $4000 price tag of Macs was offputting.
Now if only we can attract more commercial software to Linux.

Bringing up my old "We need an app store" thread...
If you have a number of $5 (max $30) apps/games easily available people will spend their money, generously. We just don't want to spend $80 on the classic disc based game or $130+ on some productivity software that may end up sucking.
I hope there is a lot development for AROS because I will happily jumped over to that, but only if it has some promising developers for it. If there is nothing, but complain that "there is no money", "it's not worth it, I could develop on system x", I will be hesitant.
