The more difficult Apple makes it for users to use "essential" Mac applications on PCs then the more likely people are going to look at Macs when making a choice in the current "transition period". People have become attached to itunes and the like, with them not working or having to wait for them to work on a PC it only attracts them to apple products more...
Not to mention, the air of doubt surrounding Vista is well known. I'm sure this is something that the strategists at Mac know well and are playing to their advantage. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have calculated how many users them can migrate using this tactic and feeding the hype of doubt as much as they can.
The one thing, I may have missed it mentioned is...
closing windows vs. quiting an application in OSX!
There should be a button on the top of a window (I hate to have a fourth... but) toQUIT AN APPLICATION! I have been to many of my clients houses and they mention that their performance is slow. I look down at the dock and they have 15 applications running, but are not using any of them. Most users don't understand the difference between closing a window and quiting and application.
i know it speeds up opening common applications again, but give users an easy GUI way to quit an application!

P.S. I'm really looking forward to Leopard!
I would guess that these aren't the real exploits and we have some decent ones to look forward to around SP1
