Maybe I should have been more explicit.  I do not believe that enough
people would chose to move to Mac to cause any real problems for either
Microsoft or those shops providing Microsoft-only PCs.

I realise that a large number of (quite vocal) people did move over to
Apple with the release of Windows Vista, but was it enough to have a
significant impact on the market?  If so, I certainly didn't notice it.
