> Although Windows still dominates the desktop market, a huge share of the laptop market belongs to OS X, which is (partially) based on BSD.

Shouldn't Apple be somewhere in this table, then?

I think you're hugely overestimating Apple's market share in laptops.



That table is global market share. The source article for the 2013 data[1] shows Apple in third place for 2013Q4 market share within the United States:

Firm (4Q13 US Market Share) HP (26.5%) Dell (22.8%) Apple (13.7%)

Let's say a huge share of a particular niche then. At least Apple is pretty good at making everybody feel as if they dominate their markets.

Case in point: I don't even own any Apple products.
