Apple needs another campaign like 'Think Different', I agree... But rather than taking it out again, I'd want something different. ;-)

There seems to be a few people here living in that strange TV version of England/Britain where we all have elevenses, play Bridge after dinner and berate the maid if she forgets to iron our cuffs. "I believe that it has something to do with another British character feature, we don't like to make a fuss or stand out from the crowd. Buying a mac is being different, and that is BAD." Eh? Don't get me wrong, I love reading the opinions of others but I couldn't disagree with this statement less.
As a designer I use Macs and they are the favoured choice of designers all over the UK. I also know a lot of people in other professions who use Macs. I agree they're not the majority but where is Apple the majority?

Yes. Jonathan Ive rocks.

Maybe "Own a piece of the best British design on your work desktop - get a Mac" ? (no comment on how British his designs are, but can't say they wouldn't be pretty!)

There is hope in honest error, none in the icy perfections of the mere stylist.
