How much will Apple's changes affect their market share 2911

I don't see mbutt migration to Macs, no matter what Apple do, or how easy they try to make it. Market share does have the potential to increase to a degree, but many of the reason why most folk - particularly of the not so computer savvy variety - have not bought Macs en mbutte before, are still in place; some of validity, some of ignorance...

How many Joes know what a Mac is? And of those that do, how many knows and understands you can dual boot Windows on one? And of those that do, how many sees a benefit in now owning a Mac? Of of those that do, how many are in the market to buy a new PC now? And of those that are, how many are in the market for a PC that a Mac's limited range meets their (buttumed) price-spec-expandability requirements? Answer: Few!

Only the Mac curious will care about the potential of 'Boot Camp', and frankly, that's a minority. For the majority, the commonly accepted logic of, "Why should we give a damn about an expensive, incompatible computer that most people obviously can't see the point in either?" is still very much in place.
