There's no where near that many Mac users running Windows. Try 1-10% at most. The standard Macbooks, which make up the bulk of Apple laptop sales, don't even run Windows all that well (at least not Vista).
And I think a lot of people in this thread are trying to pit OS against OS when Apple doesn't really give a shit at this point. They have little desire to dethrone Windows. They have even been advertising that their Macbook Pros run Vista exceptionally well. Apple's more concerned with selling as much hardware as possible at a premium price. That's where the money's at. They've very astutely decided to align themselves with MS rather than outright compete with them. That's why you have stuff like Vista and MS Office support.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
