According to statistics, Java continues to have the crown of the most used VM-based platform in the industry. However, Microsoft's C# and .NET gain ground every day. While C# might or might not overcome Java in the following years, the fact remains that more and more programmers want the choice of C# among their developer tools. So, where does this situation leave Apple?

Apple pushes a lot of really cheap, underpowered computers (iMac anyone?).
Underpowered? What do you mean exactly? What does an everage user, leaving game pros aside, do with his or her x86 powerhouse_ Here at work I have one of those powerful PCs and I rarely (if ever) need the processing power it is capable of. As a matter of fact it happens when some brain-dead application utilizes too much CPU time (cleaning windows registry or crap like that) - you can actually tell by the anoying sound of the fan spining faster to cool off the heat generated by the ridiculous GHz-centric architecture...
I could do with a 14.7% or whatever slower, cooler running, Gsomething quite nicely!!
As for other enterprise users - blinking the cursor in Word is handeled by Mac as affectively as by any top-notch x86 machine. And it looks cooler too.
