Much better numbers than your invented
Obviously, Mac users are in MUCH higher numbers than those
silly guesses. This factor of 1,000 or 10,000 is just insane. Ask
Web sites; the number is usually somewhere between 5 % and 20
%.

MS has created a higher demand for products working under
Windows -- is that all you meant with the rest? Obviously, they
aren't the only software publisher of note (nor obviously the best
at almost any topic). And also obviously many of us do not use
MS products, but that isn't the point, either.
I have no idea what statistic gave you this ratio 1800 to 1, nor
what you are applying it to. If you mean the use of Windows,
even a cursory glance shows it is nothing like 1800 to 1 -- even
the most critical market share numbers show at least 100 to 3!
(and that's just what is selling, not even counting what is in use!)
