I find these figures believable because Ive seen similar ones from a variety of sources that otherwise wouldn't come from the same well (such as PC shipments in Japan from companies in Japan that track such things). Apple being profitable doesn't have to be immediately associated with % of the PC market. Apple has its own ecosystem of products and markets and its really maximized the amount of profit it can generate through all venues associated from it. I think it was totally appropriate that they dropped the word "Computer" from their name. Stephen, have you read Geoffrey Moore's Inside the Tornado? I recommend it (his other books are great) in particular because it makes a lot of sense for what's going on at Apple (ie it being a good thing for Apple).
