I'm a developer who works with a team of around 50, I've noticed a growing trend within the group that more and more of us are switching to Mac's for our personal computers . I made the switch about two years ago and the only thing that I have missed is the PC gaming (though I assume with the new Intel's that issue could be resolved). OS X has allowed me to customize my system to the extent that I choose and having the UNIX backbone allows me to continue to check out OS projects out there, I usually go through http://www.macports.org/
I still continue to have a separate box for Ubuntu, though I am planning on buying a new Mac Pro desktop in October with the release of Leopard at that point the Ubuntu box will go to the Wife so I can trash her P.O.S (HP Box, she bought it before we were married 'Because it had a pretty blue light'...which I hate).
As far as those who "hate" Macs, I just think they haven't given it its fair shot because they might become Mac fans and then have to fork out the $2500...I know its expensive but its worth every penny.
personally, I believe that pr0n sites should be _required_ to register as.xxx, this doesn't mean that they aren't able to have a.com the forwards them to a.xxx but the main site itself would have to end in a.xxx domain name, most of us have read about pr0n's negative effects on today's society and hopefully would want differently for a children. And really its not going to effect the industries income as children aren't the ones paying for it, they are the ones finding ways into it illegally (not that adults don't as well) but not to many children are equipped with their own credit cards.
