Apple and Linux are engaged in battle a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

Swedes having the highest student-with-mac-ratio in EU?
Hmm... I didn't know Mac had a reputation for being for homosexuals - I though the reputation was for being artistic, especially in the graphic industry. And last I checked those two weren't synonyms.
However, it is consistent with the lack of real beer in Sweden :p (seen from a Danish POV).

I didn't know the Mac situation in the rest of the EU was that poor, here in Sweden probably everyone knows about Apple and Macs even though there are no Apple ads - it's left to the retailer.
I see lots of people using Macs, especially students; the majority of student laptops in class are Macs. But on the other hand, we've got the highest student-with-mac-ratio in the EU.
The sentiment that Macs are for homosexuals and people who don't know how to use a computer only exists in the gaming community as far as I know.
