At the moment Apple is too specialised in Audio/Video/Graphic development.

 

Disco Stu thought he was still living the 70's and from your post it appears you think you still are living the 90's.

There's more to Macs than Audio/Video/Graphics and it goes both ways since these days PC's are perfectly capable of Audio/Video/Graphics. Heck, with Autodesk only releasing their tools on PC/Linux environment there's certain steps of the audiovisual production process that you can only do at a real pro level outside the mac environment.

Sorry but while Adobe products work better on a mac from graphic & web design, Premier & Final Cut Pro and zero latency with Core Audio drivers for things like ProTools and the exclusive Logic Studio, then they are still dominant in those industries.

Just because you can still do them on a PC doesn't mean that a Mac can't do it better because the software was always written for the Mac first. As much as I hate integrating a Mac into a Windows Server environment, there are always larger companies with graphic design departments that need to use them. I've seen a massive company here in Australia with a big HP contract be completely unable to do anything on an HP in Photoshop, after your first edit the program would crash. HP specifically brought out one of their most high powered workstations to test it and it happened again. I know this is an extreme, but it happens. Someone ended up bringing in a Mac to meet their deadlines and since then they've fitted out the graphic design team all with Macs. One of my companies clients is a political party and we recently kitted them out with new AUD$8k workstations for their media work and getting CS4 to work on them has been an ongoing nightmare.

I am 100% PC, will only ever use Windows, but I can admit where Apple has its strengths, if I want to start playing around with music production then I'll get a Mac so I can use Logic.

There may be more to Macs than graphic/audio/video, but it's still their main one. They are good for the home user too, but crap in enterprise environments.
