Apple:
Apple's Mac sales rock-steady in Q1 despite Vista launch
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple Inc. had little to quarrel about with the latest figures from
| Gartner, which showed the Mac maker standing firm against a tidal
| wave of Windows PC sales triggered by Vista. For the first quarter
| of 2007, Mac unit shipments were up some 30 percent.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Linux:
Red Hat might be Dell's choice.
Are Dell and Red Hat Discussing a Desktop Linux Deal?
,----[ Quote ]
| Michael Dell himself is running Ubuntu Linux at home--in addition
| to three Windows-based PCs. So there's growing speculation that Dell
| will offer Ubuntu on selected systems. If it's good enough for Michael,
| it's good enough for the rest of us--right?
|
| But wait. Hold everything. Now, sources close to Red Hat tell me the
| company could have some desktop-related news to share in a few weeks
| or by the summer at the latest.

Their sales rose a whopping 41% a month ago.
Red Hat Sees Green
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux operating system that Red Hat's business is built around is
| free to share and distribute. But while it's easy to become an
| open-source distributor, it's more difficult to become expert
| enough with the stuff to make a living supporting it. Take Red
| Hat rival Novell. The Waltham, Mass.-based software company has
| struggled since moving into the open-source software business
| and positioning itself as an alternative to Red Hat, with its
| shares falling more than 35%, to $7.18 from $11.38, over the
| past three years.
