I don't see this. Apple sells hardware; incidentally, it comes with its own OS. I haven't met many people who bought a Mac for MacOS since Windows XP.

As much as I don't like Apple/OS X, most of my friends do. Everyone got Mac _because_ of OS X. One got it because of low latency, and because he was "sure it won't hang up for a moment because of some background job". He uses it to make music. Others got it for its (OS X's) usability.
This is different from what I get from people I know, who comment on how great they look.
I beg to differ, Mac OS X is the only reason why people buy Macs. Take away the OS and they are just overpriced notebooks.
