Apple fans everywhere must be cringing at the thought, but numbers compiled by Net Applications (the net statistics people) show that the Mac OS market share has fallen to 3.71% as of August, from a high of 4.55% last December. While the numbers were miniscule to begin with - as is the dip - the worry is that it's reversing the earlier trend that saw a growing interest in the Mac Operating System as an alternative to Windows.

The dominant OS in PCs today just so happens to be Windows XP, and it may stay that way for a while. However, the numbers may be rendered moot with both Apple and Microsoft launching the latest versions of their respective operating systems, OS X (a.k.a. Leopard) and Windows Vista, but the numbers do send a clear signal to Apple's accounting and advertising arms: hope that their MacAd campaign pays off big-time.

i like Windows more than MAC, anyways . . . so here is the poll . . .

Eh...I've always had Windows so I don't really know any different... :?

True that I've grown up using windows, I like Mac better. It feels like a more polished version of Linux Red Hat 9. I want to Learn Fedora Core. My time will come.

see, the reason why people have been switching to mac is the simple fact that xp is getting old, and it has been hacked to death and is full of viruses. Things will go back to normal when microsoft windows vista comes out.

Ummm...actually what that article is saying is that, Mac is losing customers to Windows.

I like Windows way better, had to use Macs last year, I hate them. I suppose that if I HAD to have a mac, I would, but I'm fine with XP. I'm not really an apple fan... at all, I don't want to ever own an Apple product. I've just grown up with Windows, so I suppose that might be a reason why I like Windows better.
