I have observed similar situations.

If a person is a “true computer savvy” person then they don’t use macs or windows. They use linux or something else.

Macs are more for those who are less tech savy but want to LOOK more tech savy.

That said, I am no techno geek so I have my MS boxes for work. My business is too important to risk on emulators. It is also unjustifiable to spend extra money on essentially a very well designed pretty box.

Apple is a nice design house for hardware, but that is it.

In recent years, Apple's fundamental product is software like the OS X operating system. Hardware is almost irrelevant, especially since Apple switched to Intel chips.

In most respects, the Mac hardware is just a commodity PC in a well-designed case. The thing that distinguishes Macs from Windows PCs is the operating system.
