Apple could double market share on Microsoft defections

Consumers are so distrustful of Microsoft that Apple could double its market share due to defections from the Windows operating system, a report by market analysis firm Forrester Research says.

MS has a lock on the government and most of America...Apple can't touch that no matter how hard they try or what MS does. IMO. Not to say I'm a huge MS fan, it has its faults, but MS made the computer world a very attainable area for most people.

Not so sure about that, Ryan...

The NSA runs on Macs. (OS X is more secure than Windows.)
Most of NASA runs on Macs.
The Pentagon is currently studying the possibility of switching to Macs.

I know this because of the members of our local Mac Users Group (MUG) works for Apple Federal, the division responsible for federal government accounts. The government does not like to disclose what computer systems they are using, but you'd be VERY surprised to hear how much of our government is already using Macs.

Was'nt there a news item not too long ago that DoD paid a load of money to MS to code a different version of OS for them so that they do not have to worry about vulnerabilities and exploits of regular version hitting them.
