You say still as though that was always the case.
There was a time, not too long ago (ten years or so), when Macintosh was
nearly half of the market. And it's still got as large a market share
as any individual PC vendor. It's only when you consider all the PC
vendors as a group that Apple appears to be much more fringe. ~5% might
be low, considering all of the old Macs still running perfectly well in
education and such, as well as new sales.
But that's *way* off-topic.
