My point is that if apple was so much better than microsoft, and if there was such a deluge of angry microsoft customers they'd have a bigger market share.

I'd be inclined to agree with your assessment if both OS's had an equal number of third-party developers making product for each platform. But Apple pretty much handicapped itself with this onerous licensing back in the late 1980s. That wrongheaded move so many years ago still plagues Apple to this day. It's going to take a long, long LONG time to recover from that. Fortunately, the iPod seems to have buoyed the company long enough that it may yet survive one of its most stupid mistakes.
