MacBook Pro’s are awesome. My 2011 version still runs like new and blows away most of what’s current today.

For anyone looking at a *top end* notebook even if they only want to run Windows 10, they're going to have a hard bargain trying to get better value with an HP or Dell than buying a MacBook Pro Retina instead. Right now wouldn't be the only time in history that the Apple product had more powerful hardware and better specs *at lower cost* than a comparable PC solution. That's where notebooks are right now.

If they ultimately choose a MacBook Pro, they're hardly going to be the only people who decided to purchase the Apple product just to wipe OSX from it entirely to load Microsoft Windows 10 on it.

Of course, you'd be sort of nuts to make a MacBook Pro Retina into a Windows-only machine, but some people do. Some PC users out there did their research and learned that if they were about to spend $2500 on a laptop they'd be doing the wrong thing to buy an HP/Dell/ThinkPad instead of a MacBook Pro.

When you make a phenomenal product, that’s what happens.

Going to continue to grow share, IMHO. Macs seem most popular with college kids here, has been for some time, and eventually those kids grow up and join the workforce.

Also, the interoperability of Macs and Windows are so good now, there’s little reason for lock-in to one platform. And you can always run the odd Windows-only program in a VM.

on cost. Macs still have a ways to go, but for many that’s not an issue.

Since people tend to keep Macs longer, that may be more like 15-20% of laptops in use.

With Windows 10 being near spyware, I'm pretty ready to drop 20 years of MS use. I even called my first business "Windows of a Opportunity". Now it's "Open Windows - we can know all about you."
