Yes, it does seem that the Windows users are coming over to the Apple Macintosh in droves. It’s good and bad, depending on how you look at it. I’ve been using the Macintosh since 1986 (a couple of years after being introduced), and the influx of Windows users does seem to have changed the dynamic of the Mac community. But, maybe the Internet has done that, too.

I remember that the user groups used to be quite a bit more prominent than they are now, and also it seems that Apple (although still very good) is simply becoming a brand (although, like I said, a good brand). But, the “community” seems to have changed...

As long as Apple keeps building their fantastically good computers and making them as marvelous as they have been doing, I’m going to keep buying them.

That's great, but when you're turning the computer inventory every 3 years to stay in warranty paying a premium for a Mac doesn't make much sense.

I've watched one of the last Mac-centric industries - biotech - move away from Macs over the past 10 years. Kind of a bummer actually.
