Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa 814
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."

Do you want to *support* four customers who have each put a million dollars in your pocket, or do you want to support four million people who have each put a dollar in your pocket?
This is not an issue for Apple, as Macs don't require any support...or so their ads claim.

Of course we Apple users are upper middle class, it's because we spend our time actually getting work done on our computers rather than spending our time figuring out how to remove malware!
That, and the lack of games available for the Mac enhances our productivity immensely. Steve Jobs figured out a long time ago that if he wanted to stay rich he had to make sure his customers got rich, so he did that by ensuring that the only game we would ever play is Photoshop.
