Mac OS X operating system vs Windows operating system: Mac OS X wins hands down

Mac vs PC hardware sales: I think they are almost equal according to 2012 sales numbers.
 
Windows far outsells Apple. However, OSX/Apple has been gaining ground the last ~5 years or so.

In terms of profits though, Apple has that. They dominate the >$1k category I believe.

I believe they also dominate the laptop market as well. I'll look and see if I can find the articles again.
