In the United States, the market share among consumer users, people who buy their own computers, is now about 20% and climbing.
Among all computer sales, Macs were just reported at 8.7% of all computer sales in the US... up from under 4% just three years ago.


My, those -are- impressive numbers.

It is not the numbers (which for a non-Windows computer provider ARE impressive) but the trends. Apple growth is appreciating at an average 30% year over year for the last three years... while Windows is growth is in the negative percentages, dropping below 90%.

Incidentally, I erred. The latest Mac OSX market share of sales is 8.87 percent, not 8.7% that I cited.
