drXlabs I don't believe you know what you are talking about. As a programmer and having a BS in CIS, I am by no means a mac-fanatic that touts false truths (as both sides do), but that margin of the market that you call dead, is very alive (especially moreso in the last few years). I use both a PC for development work, and a Mac for film composing, they each have great purposes. The more I've had a mac, the more I've realized that I don't need a PC anymore though (Virtualbox and other VM-style apps run XP/2008/7 perfectly fine on it simultaneously (same can't be said for windows running OSX...).
You say:
"Since Mac has started using Intel chip in its machines, and a lot before, YOUR "most widely used configuration" is DEAD."
Actually, since Apple has began putting Intel chips inside their mobos, which isn't "a lot before", but rather only recent, they've risen even more from, as you put it, the 'DEAD'. Their specs, with all things considered equal to a PC (and unless built by a master builder) usually surpass the performance index of a PC. But there are limitations (gaming being the primary).
Tell the next person picking up a dreamworks or pixar film at a store that the movie was made on a dead configuration and archaic. lol
