People like to say that apple is better but everyone uses MS (except for the 1%'ers).
Why does apples have such an incredibly small market share?
No, some lame excuse about MS predatory marketing practices is not an excuse or a legitimate answer.
Either they do not make a better computer product or they are naive idiots who don't know how to sell it.

Apple was unable to penetrate the corporate business and IT departments back in the late 80's. They were idiots about this and nearly went out of business.
MS did a fantastic job of cementing themselves as the standard for computing - servers and workstations - in the corporate world. They bought zillions of PC's before home use became a blip on the radar. So when people went to buy computers, they bought what they used at work. And these computers are less expense than macs. Game Over. There is no "better" or "worse" discussion, it's all about installed base.
