   It doesn't. What does is the fact that the operating system is used on   
   ever server, every supercomputer and is now ruling portable gaming. It   
   doesn't rule the desktop, but there is hope that Windows users will get   
   sufficiently irritated with Microsoft's practises that they will   
   consider the alternative. Sure, a lot of them will choose the Mac, but   
   if they want to retain control over their computer, repair it whenever   
   they desire and upgrade it one component at a time, only Linux works.   
   This reality must be inconvenient and the Apple gods who do the thinking   
   for you.

   What if I don't want to pay exorbitant prices for RAM or storage and   
   intend to hold onto my computer (and have updates) for more then seven   
   years? Apple has nothing to sell me.

   Servers and supercomputers for Linux, gaming for Windows.
