Meanwhile Microsoft has windows on 91% of the worlds computers and apple has it’s OS on about 7%. Linux is 3rd with about one or two percent. Google isn’t even listed. Handheld devices are not the only things that are used to do work and play!

It’s a stupid article. Unless Apple fags come up even with a substitute for MS Office for example, MS will still be king in it’s court. Apple and Google have their own niche and so does MS.

I don’t bother with handheld devices. Their performance is terrible compared to a desktop. I can easily get through the day at work without having to rot my mind with facekook, wikipedia and tweaker. And when we go out on the town the morons sitting in restaurants and theaters with their devices just make me want to frag the place. This whole apple, andrioid, whatever crap just passes me by. Guess I’m just a luddite because I just have a dumb phone and don’t have a huge data/phone bill each month.

You are only counting traditional desktops/workstations.

Most people access the Internet via smartphones and tablets.

Android will pass windows in numbers of devices within a few years.

Linux is doing very well in the Server space and in on the Internet.
