You guys are making alot of false prediction on this topic. Biaised prediction. I doubt Windows users would switch to MacOS in general. I will give you 2 reasons (there are more):

1- Windows is the OS of choice for the Joe user. Most people on this planet think of DOS/Windows when they think about computers. People fully embraced it, learned it and dealed with it for years. Average people won't switch to anything else. Why? They don't want to learn something else. They want backward compatibility for their old stuff. Microsoft has been awesome on backward compatibility: my mom still uses some Win16 programs XP!

2- Real life programmers. Most of the real life programmers are Windows programmers. I say real life programmers as a reference to those who are actually employed by big companies like Symantec. All these programmers are used to the Windows platform and don't want to switch to something else anytime soon. You really believe that all those C++ programmers (with a couple of C one) would start learning objective-c and make softwares for the mac platform? That would cost too much for most company anyway.

For these reasons, I'm sure that most of the pc users are stuck to the Windows platform for a long time. We are a minority of powerusers anyway...

Never forget about your mom using Word and Excel for ages, your sister using MSN, mIRC and Winamp all day long, all your best friends using Nero to burn cds of mp3 they downloaded once on Napter, once on KaZaa and now who know what's next, almost all your family having Norton or McAfee as their antivirus...ect...ect...ect...
