My 2 Yens worth..... I think that having Android (though I think Google would have preferred the official Chrome OS) to finally be growing in the market....along with ereaders has helped to make Linux or linux based OSes more popular to where now we actually have Windows OS, Mac OS and Linux OS variants to chose from in a large variety of devices. I think that is good for the market and will hopefully keep the market more innovative for years to come without killing off any one OS (Actually, I wish their were more OSes that were popular).
As far as Mac vs PC... Too many cliches on both sides.... PCs have more choices of software...maybe true but not so much anymore.... Macs never break down or get viruses... and PCs do....(cough, cough)....I have not had any of my PCs get a virus or breakdown for more than a decade...one of my old PCs..a Toshiba is 8 years old and still works for a mate of mine....In the end the more choices the better for market.
Personally, I have had too many Mac users over the years coming across as overzealous in their love of Mac and condemning of all non-mac machines. I just find it ironic that most of these people use Microsoft Word...which I have not used since Open office 1.0 came out...not to mention Office libre, Atlantis, Google Docs...and several other companies that make good word, excel,etc... software for windows, mac and linux systems......
