After a Decade, Mac Sales Again Top 10%
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."
It annoys me how clueless people are to choice. No one can argue that Macs have a beautiful interface but it simply is not OK for a person or computer company to dictate that it can't be changed, what apps are OK or not OK, or how to use YOUR device. Get a clue people.
Digital is, by definition, imperfect. Analog is the way to go.
apple is having another little bubble in its PC sales, maybe they can change architectures and forget how to solder again to correct that
Where does it say that?
There's an unrelated story that mentions Macs are "surging in business" thanks to iPads, but nowhere does it say that the 10.7% figure is down to iPads being included in the figure.
