This chart is meaningless - especially if you look at growth of computers over tine and also look at phone grow. It really simple more people carry phones around then computers.

What the OS X truck needs is much more low-level engine tweaking. OS X is still failing to support 10bit display support for photographers / post-production / 3D + special effects / research scientists -- this truck needs tuning especially when Windows XP supported this for years. Why is hardware matched GPU performance still so much poorer in OS X compared to Windows and even now Linux, the GPU is powering the explosion of heavy lifting needed for many new creative fields; oh and people wanting to play games too! Our truck is running on a drive train (HFS+) that is creaking with every mile. We all use lots of data, and hardware-abstracted, redundant modern filesystems would make a significant improvement to our truck's carrying capacity... And so on. I'm happy to see all those cars, but please Apple keep the truck doing work that only a truck can do, not make it an oversized car... So why is Apple trying to make Car shaped trucks!?!?!?

Even windows is moving in that direction what will the the professionals use as an OS in the future?
