100% agree. To really measure success of MacOS X (as compared to success of Mac) you only need to take a look on the Hackintosh - i.e. on the version of MacOS which is not developed in tandem with the hardware it runs on.
It's hard to get strong numbers but empirical evidence shows that it's less popular then even Linux. Most users who do a conscious choice about the solftware they want to use pick [illegal copy of] Windows, not [illegal copy of] Hackintosh or even [legal copy of] Linux.
