No argument here. I am curious though if it has moved from being roughly
50/50. If it has I would expect it to toward Windows, which would shoot down
his claim even more. But really I am just curious of the current stats.

Agreed, though there are other inconsistencies and broken metaphors in GUIs.

Yes. In my view took Apple too long to move away from using just the lower
right.

That and windows snapping together were big for me. Still wish Apple would
add more window management features. I use a program called "Breeze" to get
the features I want: <http://autumnapps.com/breeze>. Lots of other good
options, too.
