OSX global share is about 10% therefore 9:1
People switch both ways. The amount of discussion about Apple quality and switching back to Windows is a lot more in recent time.
Switchers will be more like 200:1 or more, both ways, few do it. No one talks bout it as few do it, but its becoming a topic of interest. You;d need to ask why this is a topic that pops up these days, much more then before
Macrumors
Well DUH? You need contact and not to quote isolated words. To expand for you, its an Apple centric forum, so you clearly expect a bias towards Apple. here its 100% fan-ism. Elsewhere its more general, people happy to say how good Apple is, and their gripes. Extremely biased means what it says. Quite clear I do think so, to answer your question. To the point where its key to regard Apple as god, Allah, as Carol said.
Apparent issue. You mean a real issue. We have no issue with bugs etc, it happens in IT. In recent times its becoming an Apple expectation. But denial is fine. People do, as do I, take your advice, which is to expect bugs and let others find them. I'd add to ignore 1.0 hardware as well
Your last comment, well, there you go.

Presumably this statement addresses the question of disparity in switching to the other system.
If so, are you also claiming that the ratio of switchers is also 9:1 ?
Because my impression is more like it is 100:1 or greater.

What is "MR" ?

Well, DUH!

Y'think?

If there is some apparent issue, many rational people wait and make little or no comment until there is elucidation of the issue and perhaps a solution or work-around.

Dunno, but you will find something.
