[QUOTE="louishen, post: 565168, member: 40142"] Obviously, on here you will be getting a slightly biased view. But I have been using macs for years, and after only ever coming across other creative types using macs, I am increasingly seeing all sorts of people buying macs. Could it be the famous iPod Halo factor? As Kalison says, Apple are making inroads into the home user market. Still most market share PCs will be in corporate offices, and places like India and china. So while market Share for Apples is increasing slighly, Windows still dominates. But Apple is now making half the profits of Microsoft, with 1/20th of their market share. Maybe the truth is that Apple is increasing its market in areas where consumers choose to buy their own new computer. And apple is making good margins on this, after all, look at the margins on corporate PCs where someone else tells you what computer to use. Who is the smartest company, Microsoft - who can make huge profits on over 90% market share, or Apple - who can make half as much money with a fraction of their market. It seems at last people are giving the mac a try and loving it, it should help the industry as a whole, since MS might wake up to the fact that it should concentrate on its end users. If MS and Apple are competing in a real sense for the consumer market, everybody benefits [/QUOTE]
