Now I’d really like to see an Apple or Linux desktop take at least 25% of the market. They’ve been talking about this for the longest time... hasn’t happened yet.

Retraining employees will cost a lot. Most of them will go to win 7.

Apple is about at 25% of the market, if you consider that every tablet would have been a computer (for email, web, common uses) of some brand if not for the iPad.

Well, it isn’t going to happen with Linux, because the “unix on the desktop” got a UI that works.

The Apple UI.

Why would I run Linux on my desktop when I have something that looks and smells like BSD Unix lurking behind the slick, consistent Apple UI?
