I've heard this mentality from a lot of people recently. Part of it is my friends and I have gotten older and we no longer consider spending hours tinkering with OS settings a good use of our time. But the real shift is cloud computing - our computers have become thin clients. I realized recently that I no longer even care what kind of computer I'm using because I can spend almost 100% of my computer-time through the cloud, including work (ssh + web outlook + google docs), e-mail (gmail), and music (spotify). Apple is perfect for me: their laptops have brilliant form-factors (especially the air), OS X has built-in ssh, and navigating around the OS feels very natural.
