> Most users don't care about compatibility, as Apple's success has clearly shown

Apple is not exactly big in the same markets where MS is big, e.g. enterprise. So while I agree that "most" users don't care, the very few who do care might be important customers for MS.

EDIT: grammar

I can't think of a single enterprise where devs don't use MacBook pros. Sure they exist but I haven't run into it.

They exist in large quantities - try every .NET shop for starters.

The government, federal, state, and local.

I can't think of a single enterprise where devs don't use a Dell supplied by the IT department.

The only MacBooks I've seen at the various meetups I've been to were at 'hip' dev shops.
