Seems like Gartner's predictions from 2004 are becoming reality.

I suspect Apple's latest spate of ads insulting PC's and their owners, isn't winning them any new customers.

Once the intel chips are used across every line (and every Mac can run both, Windows Or OS X) I think we'll see their marketshare really jump.

The Operating System Market Share report at
NetApplications shows that Mac OS X had a small decrease from April (4.33%) to May (4.19%).
The report also shows that Linux declined from 0.46% to 0.40% market share during the same time period.

When vertical applications make a mass move to web service interfaces (3-5 years), the type of client in corporate environments will become irrelevant. Apple (and Linux) market share will grow rapidly at that point, as too many IT departments are sick to death of the endless unnecessary support hours spent on the care and feeding of Windows clients.
Until that move happens, however, I don't expect any major change in market share percentages.
