Well not all of them...for example ILM doesn't

But sure, a lot do. But these people are designers...aesthetics are important to them. There's nothing they do on a mac that couldn't be done cheaper on a PC. But once again...it looks prettier...and for some people is easier to use.

Most graphic design places i know have macs...but purely because of the style thing. They have those weird sparse offices with strange decor...and macs fit right in. Remember these people are designers...not IT professionals
WOW you picked one... out of 1,000's.

and the graphic design "places" that are in it just for style, well I guess they don't work in the big time, I have been to many a design houses (it is in my line of work), most of them look like a normal offices. and the macs are hidden away under the desk
