70+ percent of the people like it.

Apple's iTunes has maintained more than 70 percent of the
PC-based digital music download market throughout 2005,
Crupnick said. That market share is likely to climb slightly when
Macintosh customers are added in, but NPD does not track those
purchases, he said.

So this 70% number is based only on windows users buying
iTunes content. That's a heck of a lot of content. Now add in the
Mac users and the number goes even higher. They must be
doing something right. Even with the Microsoft funded class
action lawsuits (on the iPod) and the Beetles trying to change the
wording on the signed contract. I'd probably guess it to be
closer to 81% (being conservative).
