Slowly the world awakes …

That’s a lot of gay and pretentious people I guess. Whatever. Enjoy your little toy MACs.
So another percentage point of bad consumers are about to discover that they can’t play games, customize their system or play .WMA files. I expect these gains to disappear in the next quarter with all the returns from disappointed MAC lemmings. Once you go Windows you never go back.
Your potential. Our passion.™
iPhone already has more market share than Windows CE. The WOW starts now.
any way of putting zune twat on ignore ?
he’s not even much of a troller , certainly not up or me or riddler’s standards anyways
Zune Tang, go take a laxative and lay down.
Your stupidity. Your own damn fault.™
So we are gay, pretentious and we can’t play games with our computers??? Is this your best attempt at bashing? C’mon…
ZuneTang, I am not gay, nor do I support the Adam and Steve way of life, but your comments have now crossed the line and targeted specific types of people in specific personal areas directly. It has been funny reading your comments, but you should lay low for awhile now, as again, you have crossed the line. Let’s not make it worse than you already have.
Haaa! I love zune tangs comments, always keep me laughing! I’m neither gay or pretentious, but damn I do love my Macs.
Please ignore the Zune … he might go away.
No, I say we embrace the li’l bugger and kill ’em with a lot of Mac love…
What is Pike v7.6 release 92??
Cheers Zune Tang, keep on your good work.
Do they breakout browser usage. Interested to see what percentage Safari usage there is now that there is Windows, and iPhone versions.
You keep cracking me up! I love waking up on a Monday morning and reading your posts.
And, as far as anyone thinking Zune Tang crossed the line by his “gay” comment, think again. It’s the gays that have crossed the line with their perversions.
Plain and Simple.

It’s a shame how many of you assburgers who would call yourselves “Mac users” are unable to recognize even the densest, most cloyingly sweet irony. Brickheaded literalism is the province of the PC, you clods–go back to your Dells and your Gateways.
Pretentious gays unite! For Mac!
come Zune Tang, we all want to know?? what type of Mac do you use?
Shouldn’t that be “Once you go Windows, you never go anywhere…”
Could ZT be referring to this article?
Interesting that there’s no data for OS 9 (or older)…I wonder if they fall under the “unknown” at 0.1%? I’m sure there are still some Mac Luddites out there (besides Woz)…
No kidding it’s satire (even if poor satire). I’m sick of all these morons here on MDN who actually get offended by anything Zune Tang says. These literal-minded maggots have probably been maximizing their windows until last week, and they’re doing themselves no favors on our platform. They ought to switch back to an OS designed for linear thinkers like themselves.
What will you do when MS stops selling Zune’s soon? Become iPod Tang ? or maybe iPhone Tang?
These stats are interesting because it gives a clue how qucikly people are replacing their machines and who are new to the OS.
For example, 4 % were PPC mac owners. Now only 3% are. Suggests that other 1 % replaced their machine with an Intel Mac.
Furthermore, 1 % owned an Intel Mac last year, which means that 2 % bought new Intel Macs and were new to the platform.
This is very rough so don’t ream me about the analysis. But you can certainly get an idea of the trends from this data.
Simlilarly you can see some trends for Vista. 6 % share isn’t that bad considering (it’s shite). Goes to show that new PCs are likely replacing older ones at a rate of about 10 % a year. That rate may be higher since some new PCs are still be loaded with XP.
Wow I am utterly amazed at how many ridiculously stupid people frequent this site.
I’m talking to you flappo, Reclaimer, innhitman, Bad Epson, Connor MacBook, DIMEBAG, hotinplaya, and @ Zune Tang.
I’m glad to see that the art of humor, satire, and irony all utterly unrecognizable to you brain dead idiots.
