I bet a large percentage of Mac owners also have a Windows PC/Bootcamp partition/VM as well. I know I do and everyone I know with a Mac does too. Macs also have had some presence in the market since before Microsoft even had a GUI or a monopoly and therefore have been in a better position than Linux or indeed any other competitor that arrived in the 90s.
I'e had 3 updates to my Note 2 since November and my housemate recently had an update to her S3 Mini so I think, at least with Samsung's newer phones, that they're finally doing the right thing.
What do the thin clients run? Are you using Windows Servers if you say MS Office is still critical? In any case my point still stands. Macs are not displacing PCs in the most lucrative market, the business market. The iPads sound like a new thing since I doubt you had a PC outside every meeting room. We've looked at thin clients where I work but they were not cost effective for what we need.
Newer versions of desktop Windows you pedantic arse. What's Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 for? And just to reinforce my argument, how well is Windows RT selling?
Walk into any office of any reasonably sized company. Count the number of Macs. Now count the number of PCs. In my company for example the only Macs I see are when people bring their own. That's my definition of winning the PC war. Windows PCs are going nowhere, but a shift in consumer preferences could completely trash Apple's bottom line.
Even newer versions of Windows have to run legacy Windows software. How do you think a competitor would manage to move into that same market without being able to do the same?
Yeah yeah you had no problems therefore they don't exist. I wish Linux advocates would be more honest about its flaws. I think it's great but it's nowhere near perfect. I swapped a Mint hard drive from another machine into this one and it works flawlessly which Windows most certainly wouldn't, however when I put Ubuntu on that other machine it was a nightmare.
Any story about Windows malware will have plenty of posts about it being the user's fault and how they have never had a virus blah di blah noscript blah di blah
I saw her on the BBC a few days ago being asked about it and she didn't give a clear answer then either. However, I apologise. I just have an incredibly low opinion of politicians of all parties. I'd rather cut my hands off than vote Tory and I'm pretty contemptuous of Labour and the Lib Dems too.
Which is only six months ago. There's nothing implausible about that article and Stemcor even use the same weasel words as Google. I'm not supporting Google's greed, arrogance and tax dodging but I hate hypocrisy from politicians.

Like what? Just wondering not arguing as I've never used iOS.
No worries. I was interested in finding out about it.
Is it this this?

But I'm not talking about the consumer sector, I'm talking about the business sector as per the text you've just quoted.
Yes it is. Which means that Apple could very easily be screwed again.

And yet I still remember when Apple were in deep crap after being hugely successful for years.

And your office staff? How are they finding working on a much smaller screen?

Which businesses have moved their staff from 19" monitors to 4" mobile phones?
The only time I mentioned Windows in that post was to criticise it.

BT did that as well and then dragged their feet over implementing ADSL until eventually they were forced to do it.
And yet they're currently doubling everyone's speed.

Paying for the nice first world infrastructure that allows the company to exist is "throwing money away"?
The cloud is just the 21st century rehashing mainframe concepts so why not use COBOL for it?

Bloody politicians.
Sometimes I really hate "technology" reporting.
