What's the OS market share again?
>>52225206
not OP, but OS X is the only desktop OS gaining market share, and every major update that Microsoft shits out seems to be taking them further off the throne.
MS shot themselves in the foot with Windows 8, and they're shooting themselves in the head with Windows 10.
>>52225193
Why did you take a screenshot of whatever that is instead of saving it as an image?
Couldn't you just put it in some image editing program?
You're on OSX, it's meant to be good at that.
>>52225225
You're wrong at the last bit,they shoot themselves way back in 2001 when they released the Xbox.
>>52225225
So now Apple has 5% of the sales to businesses across the globe... Wow, really gaining traction from back in 2007 when it was 3.7%
Market share means nothing, you uneducated peasants. Look at each company's market value and then you'll see which is the superior company.
>>52225324
Can you tell me why do you think market value is a good indicator? At least, better than the market share?
>>52225269
Fuck Apple honestly, I didn't say that. Android is the one's they should be looking after.

>>52225193
No, Google defeated Microsoft by doing what Microsoft does but better. Android is now the common man's OS, and Windows is reserved for office use. Microsoft knows their end is coming.
Why do you think Microsoft is so weary of letting Android and iOS have MSOffice? That's their bread and butter software suite, and it would cripple Windows. All they get is a gimped mobile version.
Phones are very powerful nowadays, and if they were allowed to run a full office suite, every business owner would immediately sell their office computers and tell their drones to plug their phones into external monitors and pair bluetooth mice and keyboards with them.
So to reiterate, Google killed Microsoft. Like cooking a frog; slowly turning up the heat until it's too late.
Microsoft will be relevant long after Apple's one trick pony runs out of steam and dies.
>>52225193
What's the difference?
>>52225351
Because Macs are expensive and I like Macs, so I have to justify my irrational views, obviously.

Fanboys need to learn that competition is good for consumer of both apple and microsoft, intel and amd, pepsi and coke. Monopolies are not your friend. Stop cheering for your favorite brand to "defeat" the competition, because if they win, you lose.
Buy what you like, stop imprinting your ego onto your electronic devices

Look at Google's research page. They've got about the same caliber as far as research staff goes.
MS doesn't want full Office on non-Windows devices. Their OS dominance would crumble like a house of cards, because that's what it is.
>>52225685
If your running 8.1 you might as well go win 10

They sure do. :^)
>>52225193
For the devices market? Absolutely. MS hasn't produced anything decent for close to 20 years now.
MS is only relevant in enterprise stuff and Office (which is tied to Windows).
>>52225206
If you exclude 3rd world (mostly pirated copies) Windows usage has gone down significantly and OSX has increased.
The trend is obvious.
Not to mention Apple is making a whole lot more money.

Nokia had a huge market share 10 years ago. They were the Microsoft of phones. Look at them now.
I almost feel sorry for MS, but then I see Windows 10.

Phones were bleep bloop bricks that no one gave a shit about and took up 3 minutes of the average person's time per day max. Look at them now.
I hope you all know that microsoft is now just a fundamental company. and not trying to compete with apple. microsoft has also a bigger range of tech than apple. they are 2 completely differed Companies. Ps. Love to u all

>>52226632
>Unlike Android users Apple users take action if their iToy disappoints.
Android users take action by buying a different model or brand
>>52226765
The point is that Nokia failed to understand what people want and became irrelevant.
Same thing is happening with Microsoft (for their "consumer" market), although a bit more slowly, because desktop Windows isn't as easy to replace.

duh, that's because OSX has developers who use mathematics to write their os, instead of a bunch of lackey codemonkies. Why do you think Microsoft hired Leslie?

They're in the same mall. Neither Apple or Microsoft is going to waste money building a store in a rural area.

More and more people are using smartphones as their main systems. Microsoft is quickly losing users to Android, iOS and even OS X, which has a growing market share.

Just came here to say that caring about desktop market share in 2016 is bullshit. Most every-day computing is done on mobile devices nowadays and most people would be fine if you took away their laptops as long as they could keep their smart phone, but not the other way round.
This kind of "92% desktop market share, we still number one guys, no reason to improve" attitude of ignorance is what can kill companies.
>>52228499
>I'm a retard
Windows has 90% market share, 5% OSX and 5% Linux.
The only way for a market to grow is to gain more users, Windows pretty much has all the users it'll ever get anyway, the rest of the world is either autistic or some faggot who uses OSX/Linux.
So yeah, it's not hard to be the only fucking market gaining because WINDOWS ALREADY HAS EVERYONE.

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/01/24/3-reasons-microsoft-should-spin-off-its-xbox-divis.aspx
The Xbox division has regularly been a money loser. The 360 made money for a while, but the original Xbox was a huge money loss ( http://www.examiner.com/article/former-xbox-head-says-original-xbox-lost-between-5-billion-and-7-billion ) while the Xbox One is still costing them money. ( http://www.techtimes.com/articles/48896/20150427/microsoft-in-trouble-as-xbox-sales-drop-in-light-of-playstation-4s-dominance.htm ).
In before you confuse losing money with selling the hardware at a loss.
>>52228655
>The only way for a market to grow is to gain more users
1% of Windows users leave to OS X. Guess how much growth OS X's market share has. Even a 3rd grader could do this.
>Windows pretty much has all the users it'll ever get anyway,
Wrong. Windows marketshare has already peaked, it's been slowing.
