With a figure so close it's hard to tell if it's accurate. Change one variable in how the test was conducted/to what extent and the whole figure changes.
The cost of upgrading to a completely different operating system should never be taken likely as it disrupts productivity. You have to weigh up the options, what does this operating system provide that the previous operating system doesn't? - A new interface and supposed higher security (UAC).Windows XP is still a big presence, especially in the corporate space where many have resisted upgrading, but Windows 7 seems to finally have set the upgrade train rolling.
I predict : Windows 8 will bring more chaos into this already mess. Normal people will mass migrate to Apple. Geeks and Nerds will be stable Linux users since most of the work will be webified shortly anyway
Mac people say that every time a new Windows OS come out lmaoNormal people will mass migrate to Apple
Mac is no threat to MS on desktop OS. Mac is also not a threat to linux on the server market. Mac is also not a threat to MS on the gaming market, controlled by their DX api on desktops and the Xbox on the consoles.
So, I can't see anyone migrating to macOS. Around here the very few people who migrated from Windows, they chose Ubuntu.
In the US they have managed to reach more than 10% market share, whilst on EU they don't go even to 5%.

Mac is a serious alternative OS for the average user. Why aren't users changing? Simple, Microsoft has the OS monopoly and their OS's are pre-installed on most builds. Will the average user even know how to install a fresh install? - Probably not.
Don't bother mentioning the argument about computability, we all know of ways around it via environments and emulators. Most drivers come for all platforms so that's not a valid argument either.

I never said you were a Mac userThe difference being, I am a Windows and Linux user.
the casual user will want cheap (Windows/Linux) and easy to use every day (Windows)Casual users
I couldn't believe Linux was 0.7% on there, I thought it'd be higher than that
