Apple OS share is rising because of Psystar and other clone sales and Hackintoshs. These brash young men are doing what uncle Stevie used to do. Before he became a boring old fossil that boring young fossils worship

No, DennisW, it is not the few hundred or few thousand Psystars that are causing this rise. It is the millions of new Apple Macs that were sold last year to previous Windows users.

It is interesting that you cite the two areas of failure concerning Apple, the booting of Jobs and cloning, as the reason for the increase. They prospered when that brought Jobs back and eliminated licensing the OS.

You have got to be kidding me. That's literally a drop in the bucket compared to Apple sales.
