Time warp. No wonder you think Apple's market share is 3%.
Could be 3-5% or 10-12% depending on which statistics you choose.
When you choose to count the number of computers that are sold, Apple
may well be in the 5% range. The data skews upward to above 12% when you
count the computers in service.
Macs last longer than PCs, generally, unless you build and upgrade your
own. So, while many people buy new PCs every two or three years, Macs
have useful lives of 5-8 years. Fewer Macs sold, so fewer counted in the
sales column, but many more are in service for a long time, increasing
the percentage of total computers being used at any one time.
Does it really matter whose numbers are bigger, when the profits/losses,
quality and longevity are what's really important?
