Is Microsoft losing some serious ground to Apple???

Yes I agree Comrade, Apple needs to open up their OS onto the clone market, they can be more restrictive on their Clone makers (ie certain hardware use only) but they need some more freedom in Mac land to ever breach 10%.

Also I read here http://www.osnews.com/story/20640/Apple_Loses_Some_Shine_as_Mac_Sales_Slow that due to slower economic times the higher priced macs are slowing in sales.

My hope is for linux quite frankly, it's getting much easier to configure than even 1 year ago, and is to the point that lots of people (maybe 10% of the computer market) are smart enough to configure a dual-boot setup.

 

Yeah, I would like to see Linux take off as well...

The only thing holding it back to this point is that it is too hard for the average user to configure and use, and of course, the lack of software titles that are compatible with it.  I run a dual OS boot myself, with Redhat being my 2nd boot.
