Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa

Barence writes "More than eight out of ten Mac owners also own a PC, according to a new piece of research. The NPD survey found that 12% of US computer-owning households have a Mac. However, 85% of those also own a Windows PC, suggesting that the Mac/PC divide is nowhere near as clear cut as both Apple and Microsoft suggest. Mac owners are also far more likely to have multiple computers in the house. Two thirds of Mac owners have three or more computers in the home, while only 29% of PC owners have two or more PCs."

No, that's not it

It's not the hardware. It's OSX, and the applications that run under OSX. The hardware is nice, sure, but it really isn't the point -- computing is the point.

I use linux, windows and OSX every day, and it is Apple/OSX I've chosen for my main workhorse, hands down. If I need windows or linux, I just run them concurrently in virtual machines under Parallels.
