The iMac is just not right for our demands at work, and the Mac Pro is overkill, not to mention expensive. There needs to be a mid-range for corporate, every day use. If they ever came up with that, I think you would see a significant rise in their market share. Shari – You hit the nail on the head.

I'm extremely irritated that it's low or high or nothing and it has kept me from buying Macs as frequently as I used to. I think Apple feels it's more profitable to force people into the high end since Mac users are notoriously loyal and predictably skittish about Windows. Many Mac users have bought into the idea that PCs are very hard to use compared to Macs and are afraid to switch. For business users, it's my guess a lack of a mid-range line pushes them to buy more expensive high end models sicne the low end models won't cut it.
