Yes, growth. According to that, Apple's worldwide marketshare grew about 25% in two years. That's far more than the industry average. Take that down to the US only and the numbers are far higher, since Apple has been growing in the US much faster than in the rest of the world.

Even the most expensive Macs look downright cheap compared to some of the offerings out there.

This guy really hates Macs, and needs to do more research.

How many copies of MacOS X do you think Apple could sell to the PC world?

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. This guy needs to look at OS/2 and BeOS.

Not to mention what happened the *first* time Apple licensed the OS to just about any comers - it almost killed the company.

Before that, guess what happened when NextStep became OpenStep and ran on PCs? You got it, it pretty much killed the company.

Why would *anyone* who had ever been associated with either company even *think* about selling OS X for PC?

Ummm.. I have been reading Ed's articles for a LONG time, he bashes EVERYONE... Microsoft included!
He isn't a fanboy of anyone(Maybe Linux if anything), I think he is giving Apple sound advise.
