I find this thread a little embarrassing. It has a whiff of sour grapes?
"I hate M$ so much that I'll grasp at any news of weakness (real or otherwise)..."
If you read the article carefully, the news isnt actually all that exciting. The claimed "53.9 of the total OS-only marketshare" refers to -percentage of sales for the period stated- not an across-the-board indication of actual OS use.
...And no I dont "love" M$.
Nor do I love whiny, hard-done-by anti-M$ rants.
