Uh, So you're saying that the draw to develop for the platform is driving Mac sales? Are you aware how marginal developers really are? There aren't many, but you probably know a lot of them, and encounter many on this site. I suppose you imagine everyone in the world who thinks differently than you must have been forced or are stupid.
Umm actually I didnt think anybody was stupid. I was questioning my own intelligence (and/or coolness) in fact since I could not fathom paying that extra price for reduced power (last I checked the MBPs werent even the real quad cores!).
I was just curious as to what proportion of developers were being attracted to macs for their coolness vs the ability to get into the apple market. I had a feeling it was the coolness (given unix + nice UI) but wasnt sure if it was more compelling than an Ubuntu (atleast the latest incarnation of it).
