What your site stats show is largely a function of what type of visitor you appeal to. Our stats show 0.02% Mac visitors, with MS at 78.43% and 'Nix derivatives at 14.34%. Definitely not indicative of true marketshare.

It's not surprising that the Apple ad was deemed to be over-reaching in its claims ... unless you only count Mac, Windows and other low-ball systems as the ONLY personal computers.

What they should have said was "personal computers under US$2,000.00". I work with lots of folks who are running Silicon Graphics PCs (starting at around US$4,500 and going up to over US$15,000) or Sun Microsystems PCs (starting at around US$3,000 and going up to over US$20,000). (PS: Both manufacturers feature proprietary 'Nix derivatives: SGI = Irix and Sun = Solaris or Linux.)

Let's not forget that there are PCs out there that eat Macs and MS boxes for a light snack, when it comes to performance. They just aren't as cheap.
