Missing something??
Qbt 2nd Dec 2008
I believe you are missing something. You talk about market share growth for OSX, but let's get a dose of reality, shall we??

Taking the current "growth" rate of OSX marketshare averaged over the last year, and assuming that Windows share will go down at the same pace (it won't, since you can also run Windows on Macs, and Macs just doesn't play well in the enterprise), it will take 28.6 years for OSX to surpass the marketshare of Windows.

And that ignores the fact that OSX's worldwide marketshare is even lower than the US share.

Seriously, while there are some fractional increases over time, the reality of the situation is that Windows is still way ahead of OSX, and will be the most popular choice by far for many many years to come. OSX is and will be a bit player for a long time.

Deal with it.
