There are some idiots in there, and so few to suck MS shit. May be MS employees were there to stage the show? Or their advert agency's employees?

You can buy me few brand new PCs FOC with Win7 inside and I will immediately format them away from the HDD.

I ensure you 100% will be removed.

What? How can Mac OS claim victory with only a little less than 5% of the overall PC market share?

Apple fanboys still a long way to go before you can start celebrating. :cool:

There's an interesting article about market share at

http://www.roughlydrafted.com/RD/Home/1052F769-AC24-4892-8937-E3E90BCFD5CC.html
Apple is the only market player able to make money from both sides of the coin. Apart from Apple, everyone else in the industry only makes half of what is sold as a whole PC. Users who buy a non-Apple PC get a CPU and a Windows license; they realize they’ve made two purchases, so why doesn’t the Gartner Group, IDC, and others publishing PC market share?

Do you use Vista :confused:
Only have to ask Vista users what they think of their OS.

Only MS can shoot their own foot by having such a crappy product.

Apple is increasing their market share while the PC is stagnating. In the PC market its the netbooks(Atom processor) that is growing and Netbook users have to use XP because Vista crawls on these machines.

As an Apple investor I can celebrate because APPL is at record levels, $200+ range. While MSFT is stuck around $26+ :rolleyes:

no need to ask vista user, just ask those top people in MS. One of them is my bro and he told me that "Vista is something that they are trying to forget." so you can imagine how crappy is that.

Somewhile back...way back I recommend a client of mind to buy APPL at $18, when it was having a crises whn Jobs left...I do hope that that client still holding that stock...

at 100 @$18 versus 100 @$200...even keeping for so many years...the profit from the sale..is mind boggling!!:p

I'm more a Linux user and I don't invest in Apple stocks,. So in this aspect you can say I'm qualified more than anyone to give a fair unbiased views. The sad truth is despite what Apple is claiming, Windows is still unmatched in desktop OS market. Apple Inc. still got a lot of work to do before it can seriously challenge them.

I was one of those who bought "low" at $30($15 after split) & still waiting for the "high" :smile: Back when Amelio was the CEO of Apple.

Apple did a share split a few years ago so 100 share is now 200 & at US$200+ a share its quite alot.

I'm waiting for the shares to go a little higher, so that I can retire from Spore:biggrin:

What do you mean by "challenge"? :confused: Are you talking performance? features, ease of use? stability? security? Please explain.

I'm a PC, Mac user & investor, some may say first hand user experience is more relevant :confused:

I've owned HP, IBM, Dell shares. Although I made profit in all except DELL shares I'm keeping my Apple shares because I think the share has more upside .

I'm conservative & what I'm looking for in an OS is stability, that's why I'm still using panther & downgraded to XP.

Interesting article, maybe there might be some variance on the actual percentages, I don't know.

I'm not saying Mac OS is a inferior system, all I'm trying to point out is the Mac OS is still a niche market.

Despite what the latte sipping "Oh! look-at-me and my mac book sitting here at Starbucks, listening to my I-Pod, can you see that apple logo glowing on the back of my Mac book? It means I'm more intellectual than you are and I made a better buy than you. My computer is a fashion statement" 'Me too' brigade are saying. :rolleyes:
