Apple is kinda out for the count, i am in no way a mac hater. in fact im typing this on my powerbook pismo.
Apples Chances of catching up are slim, the only chance i can see is if they release an x86 version of Os X (which could be a good idea i suppose. I wish they would so i dont have to have windows anymore.
But this thread isnt about apple its abut linux and open source

If Apple wanted the market share that MS enjoys, they would have it. Who cares about market dominance anyway. I don't want to see Linux become the next windows, even if it is better. I would love to see a nice range. Some windows machines, Linux, BSD, Steps, Macs, whatever, all working together. GNU/Linux guys talk about choice and freedom, yet all they want is to lock every one down into one platform. Like Microsoft. I like choice, and if that means choosing windows over linux, then so be it.

Don't be impatient, it might take 20 years, or even 50, but Microsoft can't last forever, and someone will have to step up.
Refalm:
Mac OS, Linux and UNIX are winning on the server front:
More information.

Unfortunately this thread is about linux and open source, at this point i dont think apple can catch up to microfsoft in the home pc market.
Apple does Kick ass though. that x86 thing was only a thought.

No offence, but you're wrong.
Their can't be any free choice when MS has a monopoly.
I don't like OS X, but don't mind people using it.
(That's free choice.)
I do mind people using MS Windows.
It's partly their fault MS has this monopoly.
If you like freedom of choice,
you don't want MS to keep existing.
