Windows A recent study released by Net Applications indicates that the market share of Windows among Internet-connected devices could drop below 90% as soon as the fourth quarter of this year. This seems to be the same report referred to earlier that showed Linux approaching a 1% use share.

One of the components that is used on many Linux distros that Apple contribute a lot to is CUPS.


There's a good reason for that...Apple owns CUPS. It was initially developed by Easy Software Products but is now owned and maintained by Apple Inc. to promote a standard printing solution for *NIX systems. It is the standard printing system in Mac OS X and most Linux distributions alike.

Credit where credit is due.
