How many people do you think use Windows vs. Mac?

According to Net Applications via the Macintosh News Network, Internet surfers substantially prefer the Microsoft’s Windows operating system.

Microsoft Windows: 92.52%
Apple Macintosh: 5.27%

Wow! If you listen to the propaganda machine called ‘Mac vs. PC’, the latest Apple advertising campaign, you would think Macintosh is in the game. Obviously they are not.

The point to this message is not to rub my Apple fanboi friends the wrong way but to ask that we all pay closer attention to doing our own research. Don’t take the insinuated word of a well-crafted advertising campaign.

What do you think? Did these numbers surprise you? Do you use Mac or Windows? Or both? By the way, we use both.

  2. I am happy to use a mac because I can use both OSX and Windows on the same machine. It really is the best of both worlds. I think the biggest problem with Apple really is the cost. When I tell PC users what I paid for my MacBook Pro they usually say that they could have purchased 2 laptops for that… and they are right.
