#2Define "win", please. I'm quite sure Android will eventually dominate in terms of market share, much like Windows does to OS X. However, if you look in terms of customer satisfaction and profits generated in the markets they compete in, Apple tend to be so far in front, they subsume the rest of the competition put together.
I'd wager that every company out there would love to "lose" the way Apple is/will.

#3Haha, another Android win :D Where is the truth that android won over apple's iphone, hey, apple has 4 iPhones so far, but how many phones are running Android, another comparison between apples and eggs.
There might be more Android phones out there, definitely are more, but whats their customer satisfaction ?

Does anyone think Apple is actually satisfied with OS X's market share? Apple has competing interests in that it wants high margins and market share, but they did it before with the iPod. And I'd argue the iPad is an even better contender for iPod like dominance than the iPhone/OS X. Apple values control highly, but pretending it doesn't infuriate them that Windows is the leader (and Android is posed to be the phone leader) is a bit much.

In the reports I've seen the satisfaction levels are nearly identical, within the margin of error of the survey done.

#6I bought a Motorola Droid (Milestone) last year because it was only a little more than half the price of an Iphone (unsubsidized in europe spring of 2010 around 400€ vs. around 700€).
Now the price of the Xoom is rumored to be around 800€...
If there is no decent Android tablet that will be noteworthy cheaper than the Ipad it will be pretty hard to catch up any time soon.

Their Desktop/Laptop market share is higher now than it's been in decades. While I'm sure they would like it to be higher, I would doubt they're disappointed. They are selling plenty at margins that Dell and HP could only dream about.

Even if thats true, it depends what they compared the OS vs OS, or the iPhone hardware to Andriod OS, or the other way around, these reports are by far complete, there are a dozen of android device, and they all do work great or less than than, so ... its hard to compare them .

On that note, customer satisfaction is inherently easier to keep high when you completely control the closed ecosystem. When you only have a select few devices your software can run on, it's much easier to test any changes or a new version you have against them. When you have to deal with thousand, possibly millions of hardware configurations that you need to support, that becomes nearly impossible. Things are destined to fall through the cracks, which reduces average customer satisfaction.
That said, I still think OSX is a better overall OS. But you have to take all the variables into consideration when you discuss things like customer happiness.
