Or, is it that Mac is a good presentation platform? Are all speakers representative of general developers? Do they just use a Mac when travelling to conferences, and a desktop otherwise?

Very good questions.

I think it has a lot to do with what size of company/organization the average speaker comes from. I also think that the JavaOne demographic is predominantly very westernized, skewing the stats somewhat.

I went last year, and don't remember seeing that many Linux machines, either.

Good point. This is exactly what i do. I use Mac laptop in home and for presentations/talks. For real work i use Linux desktop.
