- blacksmith_tb 12y agoExcept the home desktop is a dying (or dead) breed - and many people will either have OSX laptops at home, or no traditional computer at all, only phones and tablets... They could choose Office 365 to some extent, but they could just as easily choose gApps.
- jebblue 12y agoTales of the desktop dying are long in the tooth.
- mozumder 12y agoI doubt MS owns the home anymore. The number from a few years ago showed college freshmen using Macs by 70%. MS is still corporate-centric in the US, and popular in foreign countries where Apple stores don't exist in large numbers.
- oblio 12y agoApple is also too expensive, by design, for 80% of the markets in developing countries.
- prasoon2211 12y ago> The number from a few years ago showed college freshmen using Macs by 70%. In the US, perhaps. Where I study, I can count the number of people owning MacBooks on my fingers. They're still way too overpriced/lacking in hardware compared to PCs at the same market rates.
