You are right obviously. Microsoft is also trying in the same field, for example Microsoft Surface is in a good position now!

I would say from anecdotal evidence that the percentage is smaller... apparently...

The quality of grammar in the article pretty much spoke to me of the validity of the content:
"Today, that company, Microsoft, has more than 125,000 employees, a sprawling 8-million-square-foot campus outside Seattle and its principal products running on nearly 90 percent of the world's computers. It's the third-most valuable company in the world, behind only oil giant Exxon Mobil and longtime competitor Apple."
What is it with all those commas and hyphenated "8-million-square-foot" mumbo jumbo?
The actual citation is from clickety[^].
The quote is about personal computers and not all computers."
I am starting to think that CNET may be the Daily mail(British paper for those of limited intellect) of the IT world when it comes to journalism.

Now now Guy, the Daily Moron carries all the news the other papers carry, just next to reams of shite about how 'hot' 12 Centigrade is, and Kim Arsedashian reports. Sometimes they even correct their grammar.
Thing is, you have to pay for all the rest; they're better, but not money better.

Not anytime soon. Windows/Office and other MS products continue to offer great value for the cost, are feature-rich, and quite challenging to compete against. I used to hate Windows 95 for giving me a blue screen and costing me hours of homework effort but looking back at it now...over all the years I've used Microsoft products, they've done an amazing job.
If the Surface Pro 4 turns out to be as impressive as I'm expecting, I'll be buying yet another Windows machine. There is nothing wrong with that, the tech giants are competing in various new frontiers (search, mobile, office software, etc) and the consumers are winning!!

That's only true if you restrict your definition of "computer" to the kind that Microsoft's principal products run on.

Thanks. 
I initially thought good old "regular", but then went with "habitual". I really don't know why.

Divorce via Facebook[^]
Seems very complicated to me. Can't they just make a button that automatically executes the divorce, disconnects any family ties on FB, unfriends the ex and notifies everybody in your friend list???
It could also post a happy selfie with the caption "Free at last! I'm on the market again! Anybody game?"

Or, you just don't get married for real, but only change your facebook status to married. That's an easy divorce. You pay a bit more taxes, but that's probably worth the hassle you save.

Good idea, and if you only post the picture of a ring on FB, you'll save a lot of money there as well. I'm sure the "wife" will be just as thrilled...

It would be even better if Facebook allowed you to show different statuses to different people. That way, the wife could be comforted by the fact that you were listed as married, but to the rest of the world, you could be single...

Of course. I already do this with my posts - one version for this set of "friends", slightly different version for an other set, maybe something completely different for immediate family, and so on. It's tricky though, because it all has to be done manually.

sure, why not make facebook marriage a thing aswell.
Everyone can participate the party by liking the status and watching a live stream for the yes word, cut the cake will be a game and children can play on a digital jumping castle (those big inflated things, how do you call em in english?).

Why not? One question, though: Do you have to actually tell your "wife" that you are marrying her? She might object... 
I'm asking because I got an idea involving Jennifer Aniston, but she doesn't know about it...

doesn't facebook already ask for comfirmation of the other party in such occasion?
However you might be able to pull of your plot with a clever hack of some sort
