When I get home I'll post the link to Windows' market share.

 

No, I understand what you're saying.....and I agree with you to a point.  In the end, profit is king.

 

Windows has a good product that a lot of systems use, and for the most part has done a good job of rolling with time.  I have a mac, and prefer the Windows operating system.

 

Edit:  I found this.  It's two years old, but basically says why he had to step down.  I don't think I knew their share price peaked at $60 while he took over as CEO and dipped to $20 at one point.  Pretty crazy.
