From: "Geo" 

Nobody is buying "InDesign", it's been a huge failure for Adobe.
Print production is done on Unix or NT rips and post rips. Only people I
see using macs are print shops who are doing large format color work and
the only reason any of them are using macs still is because that's what
they know. All their customers are running PC's. (I deal with a number of
print shops around here and it's the same with all of them)

I don't know hollywood but I suspect since Jobs just sold his company to
Disney that at least Disney is all Macs .

Rendering/Raytracing, believe it or not, is mostly moving to Linux now, the
bulk is still windows based but the move is on.
