The attendance has been going up each year with the increasing
popularity of the Mac.
Some developers find it easier to make money being a bigger fish in a
smaller pond. If you're a windows developer, you certainly have a bigger
market and consequently far more competitive clutter to get through and
reach your target market. That means your marketing/advertising will
cost more per sale and your margin per unit sale, smaller in a general
sense depending of course on other factors.
