Hey nihil,

Just a quick comment on your thoughts about apple users. You mention:
The problem with Apples is that they are far less numerous, and their users tend to be rather more computer savvy than the average PC user.
Isn't the Apple primarily designed with the "ease" of use for the non tech savvy buyers? That's what I understood from the latest Mac commercials comparing Macs to PCs (with the actor from Accepted).

I would think that Windows is the primary target for it's market share, but also for it's known issue that almost everyone is logged in as Administrator, while Linux users log in as a User and only Root for system changes, and my understanding is that Apple functions in the same way (I've never used one, so making a conclusion on what I've heard from others use of Macs)
