It is amusing because you miss the fact that I have not criticised Macs at all. I have focused on the marketing.

Since the Apples have hit the personal computer world they have never managed to actually go beyond the classroom and a few graphical niches.

I remember when jobs had NeXT computers, he would say he does not need to dominated just carve out a niche.

I don’t see any of that having changed in all these years.

BTW: 44% from what? for what? it does not matter because Mac has to work with the other 90% of the computer market.

compute happy, later.

Here are the premises and they're beyond dispute:

Mac does Windows.
Windows does most of the rest of the computer market.
Therefore: ____________

What is the conclusion to be drawn from these premises (and note that we don't have an undistributed middle here either)?

Are you reading the same thread I am? I've been answering your criticism of the marketing.

And why should it? He makes the computers he wants to, sells tens of millions of them, and makes truckloads of money. You seem to believe that a business is a failure if it doesn't aspire to rule over all of Metropolis.
