<<Apple grabs 3.6% PC market share in March quarter>>

You have to wonder why would MSFT decide to put out alot of Longhorn hype this week. Did it have anything to do with these new market share numbers and the fact that Apple is releasing Tiger this week? Are they afraid of losing more market share? I don't remember what the hardware requirements for Longhorn are but if people have to buy a whole new system in order to use it, will some of those consider a Mac? My own opinion on this is that MSFT is a bit scared and is trying to plug the leaks that have sprouted in the monopoly dam they have erected. I am not saying that MSFT will lose a significant amount of market share for them but maybe Apple can get to 5-10% market share and maybe they can keep a significant amount of growth going forward which would be nice for the shareholders.
JMO though. Good luck.
