Apple’s market share increasing
It’s no secret that Apple is pulling in more and more customers every quarter, but hard numbers like this remind us that they still have quite a ways to go before mounting a serious challenge to Windows’ dominance. That said, Cupertino continues to post some pretty impressive numbers. According to a report released by research firm Gartner, Apple pulled in 6.6% of the American PC market during the first quarter of 2008. All told, the company shipped 1.01 million computers, which marks a 32.5% growth over last year, when Apple was responsible for 5.2% of the US market. While Apple still has significant room to grow in the enterprise market, there’s no doubt that they will continue to gain territory in the coveted consumer market. Any guesses as to what percentage of the market they might have by this time next year?
7.1%-7.9%

Until I can buy OS 10.x and install it (legally) on my ThinkPad… they will grow at a 1-2% rate, maybe a teeny bit more…

They may be gaining more ground in the Enterprise sector soon. See this article on CNet, http://www.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9920531-16.html?tag=nefd.only. IBM is considering moving their employees from PCs to Macs. They are running a pilot program to test it out. I’ve recently bought a MacBook Pro. I did it because I wanted the best of both worlds. I run Windows XP Pro in Fusion and love it.
