| To paraphrase Star wars "The more you tighten your grip, the more systems will slip through your fingers" - very apt i think.

| Welcome!
It is true then, that all answers lies within the wisdom of Star Wars. May the force be with us all.

| This article would be more accurate if it didn't imply that Microsoft might be losing its grip to Apple. Microsoft has a lot invested in Apple and the Macintosh line, on top of that, Apple is potentially facing two class-action lawsuits over hardware problems with their products.
Is Microsoft losing it's grip? probably...is it losing it to Mac? not really, Microsoft products exist on Macintosh too. |

That's not so much of a threat now that Apple have admitted that some iBooks have serious problems with their logic boards. Of course, it's not the only problem that's been reported, but it's a start. I sent mine back for free repair yesterday, and was told to expect its return in a week |

| Until Apple issues MacOS licenses to other HW manufactures, Apple has its own problems with its MacOSX/Apple box model/non-standard HW form factor**.
It seems that article's creator has forgotten Cross Office for Linux X86, Sun's StarOffice6 and IBM's OS/2 Warp 4.5 with Odin add-on.
Disclosure of the "criteria and methodology" is important in any statistical presentation.
**Refer to the gutted PowerMac G5 issue as an example...

Wow!

| Hi all,
I hope that M$not don't loose their grip (too much). We don't want the script kiddies, hackers, slackers, and virus authors concentrating their efforts on another OS !!
