There are still market niches where OSX is successful because of specific applications that run only on OSX where the Windows equivalent is inferior or much more expensive. Final Cut Pro is one example. Garage Band is another. iMovie OTOH has some weirdness in it with the later versions, and Sony Vegas is better at combining different video formats. We have an OSX machine in the house because my kid's school uses Macs exclusively and it's helpful for him to be able to have the same platform for some of his projects. It would be highly politically incorrect for our school district to not use Macs. His school is literally about a one minute walk from Apple headquarters. OTOH for games the PC is the system of choice. OSX is not an "abysmal failure." Measuring the market success of any OS against Windows is difficult. It's a huge market and OSX has carved out a profitable niche.
