Hasn't really helped Apple as of yet, tho, has it? MS still has 95% of the
desktop market, and a sizeable chunk of the server market. And their
percentages aren't going down (at least, not appreciably). So even tho
there must be many people out there who's school age experience was with
Macs, doesn't look like they've carried that preference pattern through to
their out-of-school years, either in the corporate area or in the home
user area.
