Vista Taking a Nibble Out of Apple in OS Wars?

PetManimal writes "Despite all of the positive buzz about the Mac operating system and the 'halo effect' of iPod sales, Mac OS X market share actually dropped last month, reports Computerworld: 'The share of PowerPC-based Macs fell ... from 4.29% in February to 3.94% in March. That dip was not fully offset by an increase in Intel-based Mac hardware, leading to a overall net decline in Mac share of 0.3%, to 6.08% in March.' Meanwhile, Vista is rising, the article says, with just over 2% of computers connected to the Internet using the new Windows OS. The figures are from a company called Net Applications, which collects its data from the browsers of visitors to its network of 40,000+ Web sites."

I was patiently waiting for Leopard to be released so I could buy my first mac but I got impatient when a good deal on a Thinkpad (with Vista Premium) came along and took the plunge. Maybe I will still buy a mac, but now that I don't need a laptop there is less of a reason to.

I love it when people sound so smart, but can't tell the difference between there and their.
