>> it sold 60 million copies of Windows Vista this year, more than the entire installed base of Apple
The thing is the Apple Ipod, IPhone, Apple TV, etc run OSX too. So Apple's installed base is well above 160 Million.
And what about all the Linux/BSD OSes that power the embedded computers in Cell Phones, Routers, DVD Players, MP3 Players, Video Games, TVs, Cameras, Printers, etc. As well as all the open source OS based computers that power a majority of the worlds supercomputing clusters.
In reality Microsoft is a company under siege, the 1 billion number is only really impressive if you only pay attention to what is inside Microsoft's markets that Microsoft dominates.
