No, I disagee - I don't think that everybody does.
However, most people buy a computer to run software on, rather than vice versa, so they presumably choose their hardware platform and operating system to match whatever their software requirements are. If graphic design is your main priority, a Mac is clearly the right choice. If playing games is, a PC (or dedicated games console) is the right choice. All I'm saying is that if eBooks are important in your computing life, a PC is currently a better choice than a Mac. One may wish that it were otherwise, but that's the way the world currently is.

I run XP Pro SP2. I have it decently secured, thank you. Vista offers nothing that tempts me to upgrade, and I have no plans to do so.

Same here. I recently bought a new top-end Dell machine specifically because I wanted a high-spec XP machine while it was still possible to buy one. Much of the software I want to run doesn't currently run on Vista, but that's not Vista's fault, but sloppy programming. The software that I wrote 10 years ago runs just fine on Vista.
