This statement fails on its face:
1) Claiming that those who have not switched are only doing so because they are waiting for OS X without any evidence to back up the claim is facile. Many people have not switched because many people will never switch until they buy a new machine; I know several people still using OS 9 because it is fine for their needs. These are not technically inclined people, so as long as the machine works, they're happy. If you have any data to back up your claim, I would like to see it;
2) 4Q2004 Power Mac sales were only off 4% compared to 3Q2004 sales. iMac sales were up 147% from 3Q2004. As all are OS X machines, your logic fails once again.
