Why don't more people use Macintosh more?

I've been in computers for a long time now. Back before The Apple Macintosh has been around for most of that time. I do not understand how it has not dominated the market. It always reminds me of Sony and Beta (you do remember Beta don't you?). Beta was the superior competitor to VHS but look what happened to that...

It's just some of the software and how much easier they make it. Anyone can figure out how to convert and store photos from their digital camera, create a jukebox, edit movies and burn it all to an impressive looking looking DVD. Of course it's the iLife applications that I'm talking about, they come free with any Macintosh these days.

I thought Macs were a little easier to use even when iLife didn't exist. It's always been it little be easier to me. It's not that I have any problem learning, I've programed computers from assembly code to fortran any used operating systems from Atari to pSystem to Linux. Macs are definitely a little bit more money but I always think it's worth it.

I just got the new version of iLife but haven't had much time to play with it but it even has a few more features that makes you DVDs even look more professional. The iPhoto program is supposed to be a lot faster and store more photos, but I don't use it for much other than red-eye reduction. They also have a new program called Garage Band to create your own music.
