This is a common answer from the Mac users, but how true is it? Do
you really think 10% of the programmers produce more software than the
90% on the PC side? Even excluding games I find it hard to believe that
there isn't a preponderance of PC programs of all kinds. It would be
interesting to see some hard statistics about this since it is so often
bandied about by both camps.
