Yes they have a great operating system but Apple has done everything
possible to screw up the adoption of it by the general public.
According to Google Zeitgeist the operating systems used to access Google
during February 2004 by percentage were
Windows 98 23%
Windows XP 46%
Windows 2000 18%
Windows NT 3%
Windows 95 1 %
Mac 4%
Linux 1%
Other 1%
That's 91% for Windows.
There just isn't the base out there for every body to port every thing to
non-Windows OS. Hell, the virus writers don't even port their stuff to
Mac.
the numbers cannot be trusted because browsers can be configured
to lie to the server. The lie is required in part because some
web weenies are complete idiots, "designing" the site so that it
only supports MSIE (we don't need that pesky web paradigm, do we?)
