You can try to spin it any way you want to, but it won't change the fact that percentage of Windows users is shrinking. Market share doesn't measure cannibalization or PCs that are thrown into the junk pile - but usage share does, and Net Applications is showing Windows usage is in a slow, steady decline. Over time, Microsoft could easily drop another 10% or more.

One other factor to remember about market share - PCs tend to be low-quality, disposable computers that have to be replaced more frequently. Macs are more durable and have a longer useful life, which is bad news for computer salesmen.
