Also - Apple is almost non-existant in Poland except for iphone.

I don't have data, but from anegdotal evidence Mac OS-X has smaller desktop market share than Linux here.

So Poland is unimportant market for Apple.

There you go with some data for desktop OSes. Slightly more OSX users than Linux though. Still not a significant amount. http://gs.statcounter.com/#os-PL-monthly-201108-201208-bar

Thanks. So I was wrong again.

BTW the graph with time shows that there was reversal - in 2008 Linux had 1.8 % and OSX 1.27 %, now OSX has 1.53 % and Linux 1.06 %.

Makes me sad.

Linux has way too little market share on the desktop anyway. Especially when considering that it does all the things the average consumer wants, ever since hardware compatibility problems have virtually gone away. I think the main reason is actually, that "the computer" with its OS and everything is one product to the average consumer. They buy a PC, it runs Windows. They buy a Mac, it runs OSX. And it usually stays that way. Pre-installed Linux was never really given a proper chance.
