I doubt MS owns the home anymore. The number from a few years ago showed college freshmen using Macs by 70%.

MS is still corporate-centric in the US, and popular in foreign countries where Apple stores don't exist in large numbers.

In the US, perhaps. Where I study, I can count the number of people owning MacBooks on my fingers. They're still way too overpriced/lacking in hardware compared to PCs at the same market rates.

Apple is also too expensive, by design, for 80% of the markets in developing countries.
