Recently I had done a small poll among a number of missions to find that 
Mac popularity had increased in missions about 20% in the last two 
years. We did a bunch of missions helpdesk and actually had 30% of all 
the computers that we worked on that day be Macs. We decided it had to 
do with the unpopularity of Vista that made Macs so popular. Also, with 
current Macs using the Intel chips, it made it very popular among 
missions IT people to have a Mac. That way you have one computer that 
runs all OSes in the organization.

In Short, The same way that more and more junk is making it's way into 
Firefox because Firefox has increased in popularity, you will start to 
see a lot more stuff out there for Macs. Of course, with Windows 7 
coming out, people may shy away from Macs again... :)
