And if you do use those statistics you might as well explain that Windows Mobile part to me. You've lost me there somewhere with your one-sided perception.

I have a opinion that in terms of business open beats closed. The chart is based on the growth trends in 2010. In the 80s Microsoft was "open" (clone PCs) and Apple was closed. MS won. Now we have a repeat of the OS wars on phones. Blackberry used to be the king of Smartphones, customers used to complain about the poor websurfing in the phone, Blackberry did not care because of their smartphone monoploy, now Apple comes out with a better product and beats them. Closed vs Closed. How do you think Apple lost their 90% smartphone OS share? Google eating their lunch. What's going to happen to "closed" Amazon when Google starts competing against them? Based on the acceleration of Windows 7 phone sales some people think their marketshare will be 9.8% in 2014.
