Fascinating! I'm only about halfway through, but I have to comment about Apple being gone from the education market. I think they have definitely dropped in America, but in the 3 schools in my neighborhood, they're right around half Macs. In fact, my son complained that his iBook G4 was too slow, because he's used to using G5s in school! I think it depends on where you are, and also I think those schools that still have Macs will be turning more to Apple over time (they of course lag the market, so it will take them longer to get into the Intel-based Macs.
