592722 2007-09-20 10:01:00 I know what you guys are saying and I probably went a bit over the top...

But, the original post and reference URL were a joke. Or, can't you see that?

Winmacguy should save his propaganda for serious threads where people can bash him to their hearts content!

Goodness me, at this rate he will soon be contaminating Billy T's joke pages, Heaven forbid.

That is what I am saying.

592723 2007-09-21 12:06:00 lol well i thought it was funny...

oh, and as for winmacfan's comment:

Microsoft confirmed that in the first six months of Vista availability it shipped into the channel no less than 60 million licenses to the platform. This figure is roughly equivalent to 6% of the operating system market.

combined with

Since January 2007, Windows Vista has increased its foothold on the operating system market to no less than 6.26%.

tells me that most of them would have sold - and this isn't accounting for the pirate market share

You may be too thick to understand but shipped and sold are two different things.

Ken, Winmacguy is not your normal PF1 member . He is a 'plant', most likely paid by Apple Mac . My guess is that most computer tech forums have similar plants .

You are probably right . Perhaps his job with them is on the Macintosh production line .

I think he should stick to that as the toffees are their best selling product!

Point taken, but what of the "stupid" word . Surely that fits the bill . He reminds me of a cracked record!

Ken :lol:kenj,

Compare your posts with everyone else's . While they generally discuss the article, you just make personal comments about winmacguy .

You obviously have personal issues with winmacguy, but you are to keep that off the forum . I've warned you once . . .

can you not read?

i was pointing out the difference between the two! - and funnily enough it isn't as big as the resident fanboys claim.

MS claims to have shipped 60 million, which is roughly 6%, and the share is at the higher end of that region

so by that i deduce that a large portion of those shipped copies have been sold. - that doesn't mean every single one has sold, hell i'd expect a few thousand to be stolen and/or lost, let alone the ones sitting is shelves and warehouses


and that mac market share i extracted from your own link posting on another thread WMG, so are we to believe you now or then? besides, if vista is made of so much fail and aids why is mac not running away with 10% leaving vista with 2%?

The Mac market share is going to "run away" any time soon, more a case of steady continued growth year on year .
