No, Mac buyers are not geeks. But, I've seen one company in the last 10 years that standardized around the Mac. And it was ugly. The CFO believed that the MAC was so easy, that they didn't really need an IS staff. So the company I worked at which was the same size of about 750 people, had an IS staff of 40. At the Mac shop they had 3. And no developers.

So I don't see the world clamouring for Macs yet, either.
