It’s particularly good to see both OS X and Linux punching above their weight. With Apple shifting more Macs than ever before and Ubuntu really simplifying the Linux experience, we may start to see real competition in operating systems once again. Bad news for Microsoft admittedly, but a challenge I’m sure it can and will rise to. The biggest hurdle for Redmond though, is Vista. All the evidence you’ve presented suggests that an uncomfortably high percentage of users are voting with their feet and reverting to XP. Microsoft ignores this at its’ peril and, if Vista is the best Windows flavour they are able to offer, then some hard times lay ahead.
