Here are my suggestions to what we can answer here:

Make computers be a more productive tool for our target audience

MacOS X, Windows, Ubuntu. (Don't really think
there are anyone else)

I don't know how to usefully answer this question, I noticed that Stephen
Galagher answered a slightly different
question (List at least 5 products that successfully target the same target, which is a
bit easier to answer:
O'Reilly books, Apple hardware, The Big Bang Theory. I was also thinking about Jolt

how popular either still is.
