Precisely why marketers would have a keen interest in quantifying this.
It would be invaluable to know the percentages of those likely to buy
products for OS X and those who haven't bought a new computer in more
than half a decade.
If the number of people using OS 9 is anything close to as large as it
was two years ago, all projections for all OS X-based vendors will
produce a deficit for these companies unless they're able to know and
correct for this dormant submarket.
For this reason it would seem very useful for a professional marketing
firm or major vendor to have put out the relatively minor cost to
quantify this submarket.
