I read with great interest Greg Keizer's article "Windows market share dives again as Mac nears 10%" because I've been waiting for Mac to garner just that kind of market share. I was doing Pascal programming in college on a Mac back in 1984 and while the screen was monochromatic, it did have icons and a mouse. Remember, that was almost a decade before the boys up in Redmond introduced the Windows operating system.
GUI aside, more and more people are starting to dispel with the preconceived notion that Macs are "only for graphic artists" or ‘those in the publishing field," as I've heard countless times. Even if we disregard gaming and programming, as far as the general public is concerned, Macs are a great alternative; the un-windows, if you will. Before I get a ton of hate mail from my Windows-loving brethren, I like Vista better than any previous incarnation of Windows, but hands down, OS X is just perfect for me.
