    Fair enough, just don't make statements and claim them as fact unless you have proof to back it up, otherwise it's just speculation.

    Apple is number #1 in laptop sales sold to individuals in higher education but this is something else entirely. If he simply says sales- that could be private sector.

    So when exactly are you reading your numbers from - 2001? You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Stop wasting our time.

    No...those are from 2008. Read what I posted. No I know why people hate arguing with you. You can't take the time to read and understand what people tell you. All you want to do is argue.... Far as I'm concerned were done!



    If you want to go find an article that proves me wrong..be my guest. Of course...why would anyone want to do that. Arguing and insulting is so much easier!

    Exactly. Like you said, "individuals in higher education". That means college students buying computers for themselves. That has nothing to do with high school, middle school, or elementary schools, which is what macxpress doesn't get. And I tend to agree with you about Dell. No, I have no proof, and it is just speculation, but being in a sales position and talking to teachers, primary and secondary schools are leaning more towards the PC's because of initial cost, while these same teachers are buying Macs for their homes. Again, just speculation, but that is my personal experience.

    This is no surprise with the world recession. We can expect much the same for the rest of 2009 and maybe through 2010. The economic disaster is being dampened by our government's bailouts and policy changes but the carnage continues on.



    Apple's Snow Leopard Server edition will have many new features that will entice small businesses and maybe that will boost the business sector for Apple. Here's hoping.

    Now that's rational.

    You mentioned 2008? The article was from 2008? Or the school year was? I thought you said:

    You go back and change your posts now with links added and say I didn't read them? Very slick.

    And you think Dell is #1? Link please? Don't post things without proof!

    Macpress just want to have an obnoxious argument going. I'm not taking his bait anymore.

    The article is discussing sales at school sytems- K-12. These aren't the $$s that kids are spending but the school's themselves- how obvious could that be?

    The problem is that in education you have a certain budget. Here in New York I can get a 1 proccessor 4 core Xeon workstation (yes workstation) with a quadro video card for $1000 through state contract. The equivalent apple would be $2499 or above.



    In todays economy with tax payers hounding us to be better with tax payers money of course education sales would go down .



    PS I work for a library.

    Apple should license Mac OS X on any PC out there to boost market share to 90% worldwide!!!



    Or at least and to start with on the mode range that Apple does not make, like the UMPC, NetBooks, Tablets, etc.

    I'm starting to like Tim Cook a lot. He seems more pragmatic and realistic than Steve Jobs. There's a lot less spin and hype in his assessments and statements about Apple's business. This will help Apple stay more competitive, and hopefully reduce the penchant for unnecessary secrecy.
