^^^^^^^^^^So what? The overwhelming majority of FReepers are Americans. We're not going to switch to Linux just because it is more popular in Communist China.^^^^^^^^^^^
I wouldn't expect a freeper to switch based on popularity in any shape or form.
I'd expect them to switch because it's a better product, better put together, faster, has more features, easier to use, and other reasons.
^^^^^^^^^^^I recommend Macs for Americans. In the unlikely event that you need to call tech support, you'll be talking to a fellow American, not some Dell Dude in India.^^^^^^^^^^
If it weren't for Apple's closed nature, I'd do the same. It's too bad you can't install OS10 on something else.
Those are reasons to use a Mac, not Linux.
