Yes, the Mac culture is annoying as hell but the fact is plenty of "in the know" geeks buy Macs these days. Mac OS X is a powerful unix machine at it's heart and is much more open and geek friendly than Macs of the past. Factor in that Windows keeps getting "dumbed up" and less "hacker friendly" and the old arguments about the Mac being proprietary and locked in and the PC platform being wide open no longer make sense.
