These are the stats from my website. Pretty much what photon said.

Windows 83.13%

Macintosh 15.44%

The main reason I encourage people to stick with/use Windows is that the Apple market share has risen from 10% to 15% ... that's big enough. Big enough for Apple to run profitably and big enough for most software developers to develop Mac versions of their programs. If the Apple market share gets any bigger I fear I might have to actually start screening for viruses. I know, I should anyway because they do exist. For the most part though Mac viruses are pretty much myth in my experience. In over 20 years of using Apples I've had one virus ... and it came from a Mac magazine demo disc. In that time I've never used anti-virus software. That reason alone justifies using an Apple for me. That and they come up with really cool innovations.
