I haven't seen how those figures were derived either, but it raises an
interesing question:
If Apple, for the first time since Jobs came back, not only returned
to the 10% marketshare of a decade ago but actually exceeded it by
another 6 points, why wouldn't Apple be shouting this from the rooftops.
If memory serves, at 16% this would mean we currently have the largest
marketshare in the history Mac history.
You're confusing marketshare and installed base share.
It's not me so much as Wall Street. My work is platform-independent and
it all sells for the same price, so it don't make no dif to me. :)
The theory is that Wintel (or at least Windows) users need to upgrade
more frequently (because every new version of Windows is more bloated -
apparently new versions of OS X have been the same or even more efficient).
Sounds good, but how many folks are running OS X on their Performa? Or
even a G3?
