Powered by its OS X Tiger operating system and buzz surrounding the iPod, Apple Computer has gained traction in the personal computer market. Macintosh computers used to be popular with the creative crowd, but now are finding a place on the desks of corporate America. According to the Wall Street Journal, JupiterResearch surveyed technology decision makers at 258 medium and large businesses and projected that 33 percent would be running Macs next year, while only 21 percent were doing so now.

You make a good point. Microsoft Office is so ubiquitous that even if Mac OS X captured another few percentage points in the OS market, Microsoft could benefit from it instead of being worried about selling XP/Vista. Last I checked, Office costs a fortune and a half, much more than the OS itself... and if most businesses are running XP then they are likely running Office.
