This is a great write-up. Alas, for me at least, the words will ring hollow for as long the rest of the world (and every major business outside of desktop publishing) continues to use Windows on cheap Dell PCs, convinced that Macs are over-priced toys and that Microsoft, not Apple, were responsible for the modern IT industry.
It will take a long time to overcome these entrenched ideas. Things are not as bad as they were back in in 1997, but I still find myself fighting my corner against PC-zealots who continue to think 'Macs are crap'. Yes, I've heard those exact words many, many times.
Also, you mentioned .Net and C#? How was Apple responsible for these technologies?
