So I'm wondering who thinks that Macs are going to become much more common in the next few years? And PC's are going to fall out of favour? (More or less not entirely)

Recently Apple has made a return to the market with their "Ipods" and now Apple computers seem to be catching the eyes of consumers. While Apple is beginning to gain popularity many people are becoming fed-up with PC and Windows. The population has come to the general consenus that Windows Vista basicaly sucks.

Mac's will become slightly more common, but windows holds the cooperate network market, home users will follow them like sheep. Home users dont like to learn something new, they like things that they are already familiar with, thus windows will keep its monopoly on the market. Apple will NEVER beat windows with the cooperate network market, because its horrible to try to network and secure an apple on a large scale.

That's mainly the fault of Macs not having a big enough market share. They've been steadily picking up steam in terms of sales numbers, so compatibility will be less of an issue as time goes on.

I don't think Mac really is an enterprise solution, more of a consumer one.  But I might be wrong..

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
As I go riding merrily along.
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.

Not true, apple just dont want to 'give in' to microsoft protocols, when MS had TCP/IP, Apple had 'Appletalk' they spent many years refusing to move over untill they finally realised, The only way to progress was to take the TCP/IP protocol. When apple start to incorporate kerberos authentication, SMB server protocol, LDAP and a few select others, they will become viable networking machines. Untill then, they are hard to distribute and manage in a corperate environment. The technology is there, Apple just have to admit there weaknesses and play catch up with Microsoft for a few years

Do you like Photoshop and clear plastic cases? Then it's Mac.

If you like to run programs, download files/movies, play games, and upgrade components with ease, then you want PC.

Macs are all purchased at set (overpriced) system stats, with no upgradability.

Not to mention I bought each component of my PC seperately and built it, costing 600 dollars while a comparable system sold by Mac costs twice as much.
