No matter how you cut it, OS X is doing fantastic in the United States. People that didn’t care about it before now have a reason to care because of Leopard and the disappointing reception of Vista. Nowadays, whenever I go to a technology conference or a place where people can be seen with their laptops (such as a Starbucks), I see more Macs than other competitive brands, and this is quite a change from about five to ten years ago. If you had a Mac then, you’d be viewed as somewhat of an outcast, but not anymore. OS X has truly helped to change the name of the game.
