Notice UP trend?

Another up trend, this time from Europe.
As to the 'record' sales, well they all appear in the financial reports.
Which kind of explains why Apple's share pricing is as high as it is,
with a huge market cap.

A few explanations might be in order
1. The new Maccies can't figure out how to get them on the Net
2. The new machines are replacing PPC Macs made redundant by SN
3. The new Macs are actually running Windows most of the time
4. The new Macs are in Cupertino for screen repairs
5. Older Macs are running Windows a higher % of the time as their
owners tire of playing with the OSuX eye candy and try to get some
work done.
See, it's not that hard to explain away...

They show here if a lot of them are running Windows.

That's a year old. Let's focus on the Windows 7 era....

I don't understand their logic for the numbers they show. (The AT
Institute) It looks like they tried different techniques to get the
result they wanted.

There was no cherry picking. That link has been your gospel for years. It
only fell out of favor when they went to real world numbers. Try to live
with it.

Is there any information to back this up?

They are? I haven't heard much about this one. Every
since Apple switched to making PCs, I stopped paying much
attention to the new Mac hardware issues.

I want to see some facts about this, can you provide a link?
