Well, I don't know where your from, but here on earth there are now 665
million copies of XP installed worldwide, giving it 74.3% share of the PC
installed base. Other versions of Windows, not counting Vista, account for
another 190 million units, or 21.6% share.
The Mac, for all of Apple's (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) snazzy
advertising, has less than 1.6% share of the PC installed base. Linux, for
all of the millions of column inches devoted to its wondrous abilities holds
about 2.5% share. (All figures are from Gartner Dataquest.)
Microsoft’s achievements, making operating system software that works well
enough and is priced well enough, attracts 96% of the world’s PC users.
