   Jeez, leave the poor horse alone, it's already dead...  it's been   
   established already that a declining market share is NOT indicative (sp?) of   
   a decrease in sales.

   Show me the same number of people that *like* using Windows that I can find   
   that *like* running the Mac OS.  Right off the top of my head I can think of   
   15 just from immediate friends and family.  I'd like to see 15 people that   
   can actually say they *like* running Windows, as opposed to *tolerating*   
   having to use it.

   As I like to point out, the human race is vastly outnumbered in population   
   on this planet by cockroaches.  This doesn't make the cockroach any better   
   than humans, it means they can breed a lot cheaper and suffer through a lot   
   more crap to survive :)
