Four months ago only 37% were using OS X. Today that has climbed to 63% using OS X. Of the 37% not using OS X 66% have not tried it and 33% tried it but did not like it. We have posted an article on how to make OS X easier to use for those moving from OS 9. I think this might help those that are having difficulty making the switch.

Thank you for participating!
