From what I can tell, it seems more that users who would be ready to make the jump from windows to linux are opting for macs instead.
A rails conference I was at last year was 99% mac. I'd assume most of the web languages are the same. This is especially true in the laptop segment, which seems to be growing as well.
If I were apple, I'd stay the course. Looking at market shares when a vast majority of people aren't even replacing their xp boxes is kinda useless. Give it a year and those boxes will be a year older. Most of them won't be moving to vista.
- Tichy 19y agoWhy, it seems Apple is even worse than Windows when it comes to open systems? It seems to me a Linux user would be the least likely candidate for switching to OS X.
- run4yourlives 19y agoThe biggest reason is that most Linux apps are ported onto OSX a lot faster than they are windows. There are a lot of people now that are attached more to open source applications than the platform itself.
