I thought it was generally accepted that Apple won big-time on the
'personal' desktop/laptop front from Vista? It was a coincidence of some
genuinely good products from Apple, some good marketing from Apple and a
universally despised product from MS.

That said, a brief search on Google turns up nothing to support this claim, but I do remember it being made repeatedly at the time.

it is called "Ubuntu 11.04", it is *not* officially called "Ubuntu
Natty Narwhal". Mac was codenamed "Snow Leopard" until it was
officially released, where-upon it became "OSX 10.6".

Really? I thought both 'Natty Narwhal' and 'Snow Leopard' are names intended to survive post-release. Certainly Apple is talking about 'OSX Lion' in the store, though I've just noticed a distinct lack of 'Natty' on ubuntu.com.
