Heh, I think those somebody somewheres were consumers that have
basically stopped buying desktops and laptops, and most surveys say that
they don't have plans to.  There still is corporate usage, and
engineers/programmers/specialists will likely always have them.  But
that's not a growth market, servicing it is likely to lead to being a
minority platform.

Case in point, my kid's old school bought a bunch of iPads so that the
kids could "learn the Apple interface."  They have no idea what OSX is.
