| Quote: | | The head of Microsoft Windows client division claimed there will be 1 billion Windows users by 2010, while nowadays there are 600 million of them, Microsoft-Watch reports. 35% of Microsoft's enterprise customers are still running Windows 9x and they are ripe for upgrade. Currently Microsoft's desktop PC market share is at 96%, with the closest rival - MacOS from Apple Computer - being installed on 2.8% of the desktops. |

I can't believe that 1/7th of the population will use Windows. That's just unfathomable.

Yeah, I think so too. It is weird that so many people actually use Windows, even though I use it myself. The reason most of us use Windows is because of its compatibility and millions of modifications. Mac is very hard to modify (hardware) and isn't compatible with a lot of products that we use on Windows systems and take for granted. In my opinion: Mac is for a designer, Linux was for servers but it is proving to be able to be the next home user's system and Windows can be both plus a lot more even though it costs a lot of money. What I am saying is that Windows is a standard nowadays amongst PCs. Can't argue with that.

Why isn't it funny?
Just ironic? No laugh? Not even a chuckle?
We all have to realize, however, that 70% of statistics are made up on the spot

| Are there really only 600 million Windows users in the world? Thats not many considering that there are around 5 billion people in the world. |
