Interesting, a 20% loss over the last eight years.

Are you freakin brain damaged, or are you taking your need to be despised
to other groups?

Yup, Apple has gone through some hard times... even at below 2% market share
for a while... good to see them above 3% and rising... though as long as
they are not at risk of going out of business and as long as they keep
innovating and making excellent products as they do, frankly their market
share does not mean much to me. Still, it would be wonderful to see them
push around 10% US market share... something I did not think they had a
chance to do but now seems quite possible.

This is a Linux NG, Hortense.
Besides, the graphic shows Mac coming back.
I wouldn't place a lot of credence in that graphic, by the way. It
doesn't explain "market share" in any shape form or fashion. In order
to tally "market share", you have to explain both your "market" and what
is meant by "share".

Also, why compare OS X to Windows only and not Macs to other hardware?

Edwin's fear is palpable. You can feel it in every post...

Boy, are you writing to the wrong guy.
Edwin shows he has no idea what any of that means, nor why it would
apply. He still hasn't any idea why it matters -- can't even describe
to us why we should be concerned with market share.
He merely knows it is something that Mac has little of, and that people
discuss it. Beyond that, he cannot tell us why it would matter.

Or the Mac's four years of growth.

In my travels I see a LOT of Macs which is something I have not seen in the
past.
The Mac vs PC commercials claim the Macs are the most popular notebooks on
college campuses.
I don't know how they reach that conclusion, I would have thought Dell, but
there must be some truth in it?
