    In what way does the picture 'say it all'? I am missing your subtlety.

    And for those of us with his ilk on ignore lists, I wish people would stop quoting entire messages

    And?

    At this rate they'll take decades to overtake Redmond.



    Ah, the crux of the matter.



    Overtake them in what? Market share? Why bother? Apple is within 20% the market cap of Microsoft right now. With sudden high volume comes all kinds of scalability issues. Apple is about the experience. They are relentless at it. Growing too fast would impact that and I doubt Apple is in a hurry to expand too rapidly.



    For those of you hung up on volume and market share, go check the earnings for Acer, HP and Dell - all that netbook volume didn't do diddly squat for them....

    I suggest you look at the picture. It is definitely an accute portrayal of the state of Mac vs. PC and their users



    PS: another thing this picture does is clearly shows the kind of users mac people are. You know, those men with "softer and more gentle" feelings. The ones that change the world and think different because of OSX GUI....

    What picture!?



    Basking in that soft and gentle feeling and feeling quite intrigued, I read your prior posts too, and I have to say: You're certified! Really. The earth is full. Go home.

    Those numbers seem reasonable not exemplary when you factor these things in.



    take into account the hoardes of europeons and brits who to avoid VAT taxes

    come to the states and buy...

    we have the same stupid chit chat every time data about apple market share comes out .



    apple where it compete;s

    in its market price range holds a 91 Percent ,



    91 OUT OF 100 are apple sales



    add in acer shitware and the numbers become false and misleading

    to level the playing we should add all the iphones and ipod touches in the mix BECAUSE THEY are better computers than any acer ever made .



    what is very very odd is people here somehow ignore this and have a long talk about 3 or 5 percent blah vlah blah

    If the data is false how can we speak at all ?

    Mac computers are successful because all humans have dreams and eventually realize they will need good tools to achieve them.
