Needham & Co. estimates that the "iPod halo" may have attracted up to 400,000 Windows users to the Mac so far this year. In a note to clients, analyst Charles Wolf observed that Apple's "key drivers" (iPod and the iPod halo effect) "continue to work". He believes Apple is set for even more growth in the future. Wolf wrote: "The iPod continued to lure Windows users into the Macintosh fold (in the third quarter). Mac unit shipments rose 35 per cent, three times the PC market growth rate."

Member since:If ever I've genuinely fallen into the zealot category, it was only because I hate to see my preferred platform denigrated by people so insecure about their plaform choice that they feel the need to detract from anything remotely positive relating to Apple. When such people go to such extreems to make Apple look bad, it may sometimes be necessary to go to the opposite extreme to offer balance.

I love my PowerBook, I love Tiger. Expose, Dashboard, Automator, Spotlight - these things really do make me more productive. Along with other elements such as QuartzExtreme and usability features made possible with Cocoa, the environment becomes fun as well.
There are lots of Mac Zealots out there (myself included) that need to tone down the rhetoric a couple 'o notches. We no longer have to worry about our platform of choice dying off, as Apple is firing on all cylinders these days.
If you haven't given it a look, please do so, I think you'll find Tiger to be an exceptional OS....
