Anil Kandangath writes "BrandChannel readers have picked the top global brands for 2004. Apple is the leader, closely followed by Google. Arab-centric Al-Jazeera ranks fifth in global as well as Europe/Africa ratings. In regionwise ratings, Google tops North America, Ikea tops Europe/Africa, Sony tops Asia-pacific while Mexican cement brand Cemex tops Latin America An interesting fact is that Steve Jobs headed Apple is the top North American brand while his other venture Pixar comes fifth in the same zeitgeist."

They are a niche player. In the USA, they accounted for 3% of the systems sold in the PC market. Worldwide, they accounted for 1.8%.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has about 95% of the market.

Don't flame me, I'm just putting things in perspective.
