PC market share: How about them Apples?
As the old saying doesn't quite go, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics about Apple's market share. Is it up? Down? As The Unofficial Apple Weblog points out, it depends on whom you ask. Maybe it's 3.6% and slightly up; maybe it's 2.0% and down by a tenth. The confusing plethora of numbers is made worse by the different measures used -- U.S. versus worldwide, retail versus online, and so on. Apple blogs do seem to agree -- whatever the real numbers are -- that Apple's market share is set to rise this year as it completes its transition to Intel chips. Some potential buyers were discouraged from buying soon-to-be-outdated machines with PowerPC chips.
