    So I was wanting to see what other thought of this. Everyone that I know that has a Mac also has Windows and it is funny to see how many of them use the Windows on there Mac over the OS X. So you have all these Macs out there running Windows, would that increase the Windows market share? They say that Mac has about I think a 8% market share but lets say 3% of them have Windows on them too how would you calculate that?

    Market share is calculated by X-copies of Windows sold v. Y-copies of OSX sold.
