Um, actually, both of the organisations that decoded the human genome 
used Macs for at least some of that work.

Arthur Levinson, the CEO of Genentech (the non-gov't company that 
decoded the genome) sits on Apple's board, was the first customer of 
the flat-panel iMacs and is generally a HUGE Apple fanatic.

Two studies in "Innovation":
28-Apr-03: Apple introduces revolutionary legal music service (300,000 
downloads @ .99/ea on the first day), releases iTunes4 (by far the best 
jukebox software in the world), updates Quicktime to encode AAC audio 
(superior to MP3).

30-Apr-03: Microsoft's MSN division introduces the iLoo, a portable 
toilet with internet access. A week later, they claim it was "a hoax" 
they played on themselves. A day after that, they admit it was a real 
product but it's now been killed (and that they lied when they called 
it a "April Fool's joke"). This from the company that wants to bring 
you "Trustworthy Computing."
