Yeah, thats right, Microsoft has 95% market share because we are all victims of their brain washing....

1. that's about to change. But the flip side is that expensive propreitary hardware also tends to be more trouble free, and you don't have all the driver conflicts like you do in the windoze world.
2. Right. Do you really need to choose between 45 different spreadsheet programs? The only area where there is any real dearth of Mac apps is in niche markets and games. And both are slowly changing. Plus, there are Mac apps that have no equivalent in windoze (ie subethaedit).
3. Umm, its unix. There are some things that are moved around, but if you know unix you can administer a mac under the hood.
4. OS X Server (though it is far from perfect)
5. OS X Server (though it is far from perfect...but neither is winServerStuff)
6. Can't help it. Confused lemmings following what everybody else buys. Hard to keep the tongue in check
