The choice is almost always depends on what result are your speculating to achieve.

Some times our choice are conditioned with environment, some times we ourselves make conditions, which compicate our solutions...

One of hard choices is PC or Mac. i guess it is the choice, that some of us sooner or later has to face and choose. It reminds the advertising compaine of Apple(http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/): "Hello I´m Mac and I´m PC...", it is like "Hello I´m thai tea cupcake and I´m thai iced tea...". In most cases you chose one, so it depends on waht do you want to achieve. There is a lot of discussions in the interenet about what is better and why. It depends on waht do you want. There is no 100% perfection. Even if there is 100% perfection, it wouldn´t survive for a long time, because, even, according to Darvin only mixed especies (or 100% adaptive and not 100% perfect) survive. As though our life and economy is a "jungle", so survives the fittest one.

Actually, it is rather good that there are some choice in the case of operation systems. Almost any "normal user" has to chose between Mac (OS X) or PC (Linux or Windows). Because the liberty of choice can be considered as an example of freedom. The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts. So any student of "Economics" can look at the market of computers and think, that it is oligopolistic market - full of diferent products and with difficulty of creation of the new companies in the same brunch of activity. Many people take as a given that the desktop computer market is ossified and completely dominated by Microsoft. But, taking the global view, the PC market is anything but saturated. Some huge, untapped markets will ultimately decide how the market share pie will ultimately be divided. There will be room for Microsoft, Apple, and Linux, but how will it shake out?

The report, however, partially conflicts with a previous ZDNet report based on preliminary Gartner data.

U.S. Mac Market Share
1Q 2005: 3.8%
4Q 2005 (AI): 3.5%
1Q 2006 (ZDNet): 3.5%
1Q 2006 (AI): 3.6%

Worldwide Mac Market Share
1Q 2005: 2.2%
1Q 2006 (ZDNet): 2.3%
1Q 2006 (AI): 2.0%

The PC industry as a whole is growing, with overall PC shipments in the U.S. booming 7.4% quarter over quarter and 13.1% year over year, so Mac sales would have to increase at a greater rate than the market as a whole in order for the Mac's market share to increase. Similarly, if Apple does not keep pace with the market, its share will decrease.
