The award should be for PCs.

Apple should give away competitors' hardware? To what end?

Only a tiny fraction of the science-related software out there runs on Macintosh.

Hmm. Interesting, broad comment with no support. In the Life Sciences, my experience is that about half of us use Mac OS X. Not a bad cut of the market. If only a "tiny fraction" of the applications used are available, why do so many people use it over Linux, Windows and other platforms?

Word to the wise: think before you make senseless observations.
