Richard,

Marketshare is all about sales per unit of time. SPA estimates computers currently in use. When Dell says they are #1 in Marketshare, it means they have sold more computers last qtr than anyone else. My recollection, is that Mac users have always been in the 10% and above, especially because Education still uses *older* Macs.

Apple is as you've already said, somewhere around 4% marketshare.

best,

Chipp

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.
