Its a Mac Stronghold. They have at least 60-70% og the laptop market and 90% of the DAP market here. Its not representative of the rest of the country. This is San Francisco. Its a Mac Stronghold.

(And look, Zune's are on sale...) As if MS was designing your shopping experience, no actual software is on the sales floor. You must subdue an employee (I sugggest stunning them with a bright light as they walk past) and they place a call and it is brought out to you. This leaves plenty of time for shoppers to taste what Vista wishes it could do as they play with the iMacs.

I couldn't believe it. There in what ostnsibly was a discussion of Microsoft's new Vista operating system were the PC guy and the Apple guy from Apple's ongoing spots of the two contrasting approaches as epitomized by people. Did PBS ever see it? On PBS’s newhour tonight I saw Apple’s incredible stealth ad. I couldn’t believe it.
