what is the basis for that statement ? is there some hard evidence to
state that conclusively ? i have been hear this from aki -- but its
like very many of his other generalizations, nothing more.

from what i have seen many of the adopters of apple products are
switching from microsoft windows -- evidence also that iTunes
(assuming people buy an ipod or iphone first and then make switch to
an apple computer ) does not have a native linux client, but does have
a native windows client.

I would say most people use open source not out of principle but for
other reasons (e.g. because it just works / cost of ownership is lower
/ critical mass etc  ).
