As Koki, I don’t discriminate against a good thing. Each has its pros and cons. That being said, I only own an iPhone (a physical Apple product). However, I run OSX on all my PCs and netbook. For some the OS is what matters, for others it’s the hardware. I like the flexibility/upgradability of a physical box, but love OSX.

I think the number could’ve been very different if they counted all the hackintoshes out there.

Let me say that I don’t discriminate against any computer or any operating system. I love all computers with open arms.

With that said, I’m gladly part of this 85%. All my desktops and home servers are Windows based, and my laptops will always Apple. I’ll probably always have this type of setup, because quite frankly, it’s how I enjoy working.

I imagine many are switchers like me. The shiny intro of the Mini saw me getting one to experiment with OS X – and discovering how easy it made life around my home network.

My last PC sat gathering dust until I gave it away to a friend a year ago.

He forgave me.

This is a typical “headline” comment designed to catch your eye, if it was reversed as the earlier poster pointed out it would not be interesting. I have never walked on the dark side had macs since 1988 and have finally converted all of my family,we have four macs at home and my 4 year old grandson is already hands on. We are spread all over the world and the macs make it so easy to communicate both video and chat.
Now all moving into iphone, wow what an experience I was the last to dump my blackberry because of the contract. I have only had the iphone one month and I am besotted.
Go Apple Go Steve. leaders not followers.

My wife and I share a Mac mini, the kids share a G4 and we have the last of my PCs (November 2001) to run Windows stuff. Once everyone is trained to use VirtualBox the big beige box can go and we’ll be Mac only.

My wife doesn’t like it, but I currently have four old Macs from the 1987-1999 era collecting dust in the basement.

I assume that they count in people changing from PC to Mac. But as many said before, household is the keyword.
