Reply #57: And that's just this year....

Market share sucks as a measurement of what people are actually using. I used my Powerbook for four years, so I was only counted as part of the market share in 2001 when I got my PB. But I was still using it in 2002, 03, 04, and 05. I didn't buy a windows box and so I was basically uncounted those years.

One of the companies I freelance for takes stats on hits to their websites. Almost 40% of their hits are obviously not Windows and another 14 or so percent are completely ambiguous. They do web stuff, and get clients from all over. By their estimates, Macs have about 35% of the user base, with *ux hitting about 23% and Win getting the rest. No majorities anymore....
