At the low end, Windows is a giveaway because of GNU/Linux competition. Airlines
and other businesses of their kind are usually based on top clients that pay the
majority through "first class" or "luxury" contracts (big banks for example).
When Linux wins in HPC and Apple takes the high-end Client, no wonder
Windows revenue is down a staggering 40%.
The tide has turned.
