The fact that Windows is still such huge percentage of market share is that the figures are overwhelmingly pushed by business and small business purchases. Businesses still largely rely on Windows-based PCs for their needs, if these figures showed only computers bought for personal use, i.e. home computers, student and business laptops, the percentages would be much different. In fact, in sales of computers for personal use, Windows and Mac OS X are roughly even at about 50% each. This is why when people are out it appears that there are just as many Macs as there are Windows PCs being used, because there are.
