You may not realise, but apple have captured the imagination or should I say stupidity of the young generation. With them eventually growing older, earning more money, apple sales will grow and grow.

I don't really like this situation as it's all down to the 'cool' factor, not the 'our products are better'. They're not. Never will be. Inovation, yes, better, no.

Nope, some of their products are actually better. The only other notebook I would think of owning are mid and high end Lenovos, everything else doesn't measure up to the Macbook Pro. I've used Windows for over a decade longer than I've used OS X (got my first Mac for Final Cut Pro back in 2002), I know both operating systems backwards and forwards, and I believe that OS X has a much better UI for multitasking. My Mac is my work/general purpose machine while my Windows PC is for games, basically a very expensive console.

This isn't a bad thing btw; if it wasn't for competition in the OS space then Microsoft wouldn't have such a fire under their ass to make Windows 7 as great as it is. The result is the best version of Windows so far. See, not bad. The only thing that is "bad" is when a single corporation has complete dominance and gets lazy as a result. Everybody is competing hard right now and we all benefit from it.

True, true. Good points there. Competition = good. Intel/amd etc.

I just wish apple would be straight with their adverts instead of 'cheating'... ish. Apple = cool, pc = sad, lonely guy, with bad haircut. Doh
