Yes it's been a big year for Apple but there's still a long way to go. I for one look forward to the day when companies actually look around at other computer brands (include Apple obviously) rather than simply re-ordering cheap commodity machines from the likes of Dell as the de-facto standard. But then this won't happen until Apple targets the enterprise market which drives the big software ecosystem, and hence Microsoft's dominance.

While Apple has made huge in-roads into the home market, it's made little impact elsewhere. I'm a developer and would love to be employed to develop Cocoa apps that I care about. The technologies are there to make amazing apps for OSX, but it's ignored by everyone other than 'indie' developers and hobbyists and the job market reflects that.
