After a Decade, Mac Sales Again Top 10%

Posted by timothy on from the in-many-ways-never-really-went-away dept.

GMGruman writes "The last time Apple's Mac sales accounted for more than 10 percent of the U.S. PC market was 1991. This spring, Apple finally returned to that market share high, with 10.7 percent of all U.S. PC sales, according to both IDC and Gartner. That's a major reversal from its 2004 share of under 2 percent. The sales report comes after some other good news this week for Apple: A third of big businesses now let employees choose a Mac as their PC — and more than half choose the Mac."

    Since when does 20 years = 1 decade?

    It's measured in some odd recursive binary.

    10 in binary is 2
    and so it's' recursive like PHP, 10 *2 = 20.

    So 20 this is a recursive binary decade.

    +1 Anyway, I don't see them as viable with their pricing and their warranty for big business. They just cost too darn much.
