Google Zeitgeist is fun.
Here are the OS wars, summed up from a single pie chart...
Operating Systems used to access Google (Aug. 2002)
[OS pie]

That's right
45% Windows 98
4% Mac
1% Linux

The world runs on a Microsoft operating system from four years ago.
Most installations of which, I'm guessing, aren't patched.

So there's Bill Gates with his desire to have people use incredibly complicated interlinked functions of his .Net operating system, and Steve Jobs who just wants you to look at his pretty OS X operating system, and meanwhile in reality, most home users are quite happily running Win98 on some Pentium-3 (?) class computer. Just reading email, surfing the net, and maybe writing a few documents.
