There are so many wobblys here I dont know who to troll about what. How exactly does one COUNT a Mac? I point to the Mac and say ONE, then I point to the other Mac and say TWO, do any of these statisticians do the same? I estimate that 1 person in 8 is a Mac user. Of the other 7 only 1 or so is an MS-only-ever, 2 or 3 made some sort of decision often weighted by everyone else having one, the rest play games and steal software. Am I in the wrong crowd? It would seem that a certain software company may have been in desperate financial straits, whats their market share? Not 2.5 percent is it? (!) As for that monopoly case, where does even Netscape get off charging for there product when BT and Cern, where lots of the early work was done, get nothing. I still believe the missing code story. Apple are still umm and arrring about Power4 or GPuL or x68 or Motorsmoulder chips and would put their hand up to all sorts of weird and wonderful behaviour before they tell people what their working on. Except that they could have brought out a 9.2 version for the extra money, and published the sales figures. Lets see what the percentage really is.
