Most of my Mac-using friends use Adium and Firefox. Some of them even understand what plugins are. I've got a friend or two who've skinned their Mac, though why anybody would dislike Leopard's version of Aqua rather baffles me. Typical Windows users don't know their device comes with official programs because every machine is loaded with crap. No Windows user within my acquaintance uses Notepad as their basic writing tool. They think Word is a default because it's so common. Meanwhile, I know a lot of Mac users who use TextEdit for everything. I only use Pages on rare occasions. Typical Linux users are fringe to begin with, but of the casual computer users I know most couldn't tell the Ubuntu app directory from the App Store. Meanwhile, I can run quite a lot of Linux stuff on my Mac because it supports many of the same functions of Linux.
