You're mixing installed base numbers with new shipments (market share).
Indeed, I've run across this distinction before.
By that logic however stuff that's given away for free has no market share,
meaning that Opera is the worlds most important browser. Hence installed
user base is a more useful

means it's very slow but very portable. Ideally there would be a

Old PC? All my old PCs have X86 processors and they're running Linux.
Are you saying there are sources of extremely cheap PPC motherboards to

Sorry, a thinko :) I meant an old PPC machine

A few months ago (don't recall exactly when) Apple were under pressure
from Redmond to sell more copies of OS X so they could make the money
back on Office X. They revealed that 1 in 10 mac users were using OS X.
