Apple has always been a leader in innovative products. However, there is still times that I prefer PC's. We have three MACs and three PC's in our house. Oscar T at www.newquestcity.com

don't go by apple's market share in terms of macs sold or ipods/iphones sold. infact if you analyze the bottomline of the company's profit along with microsoft, only then you will get the true picture of what apple has been trying for years and now seem to be achieving. recnt reports shows it has a net operating profit almost 62% of microsoft with only may be 8% global market share. thats worrying eventually for the microsoft. and if i am not wrong with my forcast 5 years down the line the story should be in faour of apple than to microsoft. kudos to steve jobs. and hard luck to earswhile gates.

In reply to Louis Kindear:

I see no sign of Linux fading into irrelevance in these stats. In fact, it has the largest relative growth of the top three.

This is something that should make you as a consumer happy, because the threat of Linux is what keeps both Microsoft and Apple (somewhat) on their toes — there is a free alternative they have to compete with, that won't go away.

Even so, I'm happy that Apple is doing well, because Microsoft does indeed have more power than it deserves, and every user switching to Mac means less power to Microsoft.

Back when the music sold online was mostly DRM-protected, I was happy that people bought it, because I knew they had a lesson coming, which would in the end educate them and force the record companies to sell unprotected music. In much the same way, I'm happy people are switching from Microsoft to Mac.

Jan 2008

XP + Vista = 87.07%

Nov 2008

XP + Vista = 86.76%

A drop of .31%

A month ago it was a gain of .33%

A month before that it was a drop of .07%

It bounces around.

The big change is Win 2000 dropping from 2.71% to 1.56%

a minority. I appreciate the

Um Louis, Linux achieved 15 percent growth in November according to the chart. That's not quite "fading away" as you put it. I have a MPB and a couple Ubuntu boxes, and each have their strengths and weaknesses.

I am not surprised by these facts whatsoever! Apple is gaining strength daily, I noticed this several years ago when I launched a popular Switcher Site and saw how quickly it gained momentum. Apple has got it right now going after PC users with iPods and iPhones… not to mention their rock solid and years ahead of the game OS X operating system.
