The company expressed concern that to the extent its minority market share has caused software developers to question Apple's prospects in the PC space, developers could be less inclined to develop software for Apple products, and instead feel more inclined to devote their resources to developing software for the larger Windows market or growing Linux market. Here is the 10-K form in question.

I write this on my Fedora Core 3 Laptop. The benefit of Linux is that I have good, quality apps (like Mozilla, Open Offic, xmms, xine, Helix, etc) but without the security concerns.
No viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, etc. I know what's running on my computer anytime with top or ps, and when I have a "weird" problem I want to solve, I can write a simple, powerful script to do whatever I want in perl/php/bash/python.
Mac has most of these advantages, but doesn't have the open platform. Also, I can reboot my FC3 laptop in XP when I want to play games, such as GTA3, WoW, Sims2, etc. without any major fuss or hassle.
I run Linux 95% of the time, and Windows for games. From time to time, I've been known to click on a known virus just to watch it not have any effect, and updates are hassle-free! (`yum -y update` run nightly via crontab)
I've thought about a Mac, and maybe I'll get one for my wife, but I'm just happy, and been so since around the year 2000, with Red Hat Linux.
