Totally ridiculous to compare MacOS with Windows… Apple used to have a 5% share of the market leaving Microsoft with a virtual monopoly – In July 2010 Windows 7 surpassed Windows Vista in global usage share. However, Windows XP is still the leading operating system by far, with double the share of Vista and 7 combined. Apple has however these days got over 10% market share… doubling it's previous share from pre-iphone days.
