Well, that's pretty darned good, continuing sales like that, in the middle of a Great Depression. Apple is doing real good it seems...

Apple sales going “gangbusters”... :-)

[MNDude]

if everyone has a Mac, what will the Star Bellied Sneetches do to feel smug?

[Dixie Yooper]

Hold on! They’re talking “projected growth”...

[Cicero]

Also, I’m not entirely clear about this report, but I read another report saying that Apple’s income from sales was up more than Microsoft.

One basic reason for that is that Mac computers are a LOT more expensive for what you get. PC prices drop, but Mac prices don’t. Yes, you get more for a buck than you did ten years ago with both systems, but Apple continues to be much more expensive for what you get.

So the idle rich and their college-age children continue to have more money than sense. Good for them, and Apple, for making their fashion-driven status purchases.

At this rate, Apple will have a majority of the market in, what, 2109?

If apple created a product like psystars Rebel EFI, and sold it for a premeium ($100) to allow installation of snow leopard, they would eliminate windows within 2-3 years. And sell more of thier “premium” systems than ever.

Well Apple will continue to go up as long as Jobs is around. But with his history of pancreatic cancer and recent liver transplant, that isn’t probably not a long time. So all you need to do is time the sale just right. I say buy low, sell high.

Apple is pulling in the high end of the market which isn’t 100% of the market. Apple equipment costs double PC with similar specs. As long as they can keep coming up with equipment outside of desktops/laptops (like iPhone) they will do well. Of course to come up with those ideas you need someone like Jobs. There is no #2 close.

That's good news! I love my mac!

PC’s have 92% of the market. Macs have 5%. So if these projections pan out then mac will be no higher than 7%. Not exactly as great as they make it sound.

Mac sales projecte to grow 26% this coming year PING!
