I not sure I see the reasoning that the 90%+ people that use Microsoft also all like it. I know lots of people who hate Microsoft products but still use them esp. non-techy users. They just don't see that there is a viable alternative.
They see Apple products as too expensive (especially if they not in the market for a new machine anyway) and Linux is not a valid choice to them, if they have even heard of it.
The Xbox 360 has widely reported (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems), ongoing, hardware faults and is beaten in sales by the Wii. It also still loses Microsoft money despite entering this market in 2001, whilst the Wii makes a profit.

It also still loses Microsoft money despite entering this market in 2001, whilst the Wii makes a profit. The 360 is a much better gaming console. It does have the worst failure rate of any piece of hardware I've ever owned, as well as being the loudest. Yet I still play the heck out of it because the library is pretty amazing. Nintendo managed to produce a "trendy" product, but as a gamer myself, my Wii has been relatively unused for over a year. The Wii may be a success from a business perspective, but I'd say it's rather disappointing from a gaming perspective.
