I also noticed the proportion of Windows users has increased; Windows folks now make up half of iPad buyers. Can you say platform conversion, boys and girls? I thought you could.

It's not a platform conversion. iTunes runs on Windows, and that's all you need to run the iPad. You can't install OS X apps on the iPad. Would you call a Mac user buying an Xbox a platform conversion?

  The idea is that these new Apple customers may be so pleased with the iPad user experience, that they may consider a Mac more closely when it comes time to replace their computer.

    What you say is true. But Apple is making so much revenue and working so fast with iOS devices that it's not clear if they really care about conversions in the MacOS space.
