I typo'd that. I meant possibilities point to the market in Europe rising. Meaning obtaining a computer would get more expensive.

Not if you have your OS on a DVD-R with a CD key written on it.
Or build your own computer.

Yeah, watch them not put an OS on PC's, but not apply it to Mac, so people who dont know how to install an OS (read: 90% of people), will buy Macs.
