No it won't, the market already shows that people prefer Windows to Mac OS.

With respect, it only shows that M$ was better at marketing and staying away from proprietary hardware.
Not for a minute. Unfortunately, some key software for our business runs on PC's only. It is very very regrettable.
There are two problems with MS. One - their software is completely counter-intuitive. I should not be sent across the internet to look up a usermanual to do what seems like the obvious next task except that I cannot figure out which of their various menu submenus the important task might be filed under. Two - they started off with no clear distinction between what is OS and what is application. Even in XP I get the occasional software glitch that crashes the machine. There is no excuse for THAT! None.
Most Windows users who try a Mac prefer the Mac. The marketshare is because of several reasons, including IBM's muscle in the early days, an open architecture for hardware (and Compaq reverse-engineering the IBM BIOS), Microsoft's love for backwards compatibility (which is one reason for the numerous problems in Windows), and some pretty bad management at Apple in the 90s.
