Comparing Apple total sales to MS is idiotic. Apple primarily sells systems, ie hardware and software. MS primarily sells software. What's the marginal costs on software??
Apple had 10% of the laptops sales he says. Later he implies this is 10% of the units. Since iBooks cost more than Windows laptops, one does not follow the other.
He says OEMs pay 1/10 of retail price for MS Windows. AFIAK, OEMs pay about $40 for XP Home. Retail price is $199. Not $29 vs $299 as he states.
He talks about increasing Apple sales in the immediate future meaning increased market share. He fails to think that there may be increased overall computer sales and therefore market share could go up, down, or remain the same.
There are plenty more logical and factual errors, and made up shit.
