Aren't statistics great? The way they all tell their own little stories... As an example, the statistics from w3 schools show that Apple's share has actually dropped (marginally) from it's 4.0% peak in July to 3.9% and the Linux share is very slightly behind but not far off Apple's at 3.3% (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp) It's a funny old thing statistics isn't it? I suppose an article proclaiming "Despite heavy marketing costs Apple still only marginally more popular than an OS given away for free" wouldn't be quite as popular. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stir up a Linux vs Mac argument here, just pointing out how flawed making a statement like "a few years ago that Apple’s biggest threat was not Microsoft, but Linux. Apple has taken care of that threat!" is and to be honest, who really cares if it's true or not? What is important is that these statistics show is a) You have to take these things with a pinch of salt and b) that more people are turning to alternative operating systems rather than using the disaster that is Microsoft Windows.
