This is especially true here in the U.K. The overwhelming majority of Mac users here are in the design/bureaux/newspaper business and won't touch OS X with a bargepole exclusively because of Quark. There are hopes that OS X may eat into the Oracle/Unix/db market but it's a *very* long shot. Local Perl Monger groups are reporting lay offs and the vast majority of _them_ are Windoze users. Switch, whether from Mac OS 9 or Win32, definitely ain't happening here :-( Regards, Phil.
