I feel as though Apple is slowly making its move and without warning will strike with one fatal blow to the Microsoft/PC world. Really what does the PC world in is the Operating System, Microslop (Microsoft). It's unstable and unsecure. I tried to load some music on an iPod Shuffle from my friends computer and the thing kept freezing up and another (music) program tried to convert the CD files to only its format, yada, yada. Another part of the problem, is its not user friendly, you have to know how to do so much just to install programs. A lot of folks these days are not tech savvy. Yes, they can email and surf the web, but beyond that, I get blank stares. They don't know how their computers work or are setup. Mac users know their computers and how they work, the software is just as simple and easy. Now don't get me wrong, their are PC users that use their PC's to the max, but those users KNOW what they are doing and are tech savvy. Anyway, watch out for the latest MAC OS....

Soon? No - I do like their chances of doing that someday though. The new bootcamp that allows windows to be installed is a great leap in that direction.
The biggest hurdle for them now is their prices. Macs are too expensive right now to do anything more than trickle growth in market share.

A lot of it is in the marketing. The "majority" of people that purchase a computer go to a store to shop and buy, but Apple computers aren't there. Theres only a few electronic stores that sell Apple, and until that changes, Apple will remain the minority in the computer department.
