Really? From a PC point of view, Mac OS system sales grew 25% while overall PC sales grew 2%. Can you say a loss of market share? I can’t imagine this going direction in the handheld market.

Let’s do a little math her, to see it for what it is.

Last I’m aware of,

Mac’s comprise of 10% of the market, more or less.
Windows has about 85% of the market.

If the total number of computers were 1 million computers, before the growth,..., it would be that Mac’s went from 100,000 computers to 125000 computers, for an increase of 25,000 computers, whereas Windows went from 850000 computers to 867 000 computers, for an increase of 17000 computers.

Windows may have grown slower, but because it’s marketshare is so large, it didn’t lose that much to Apple at this point.

Microsoft would have to do much more stupid stuff before it really is in trouble.
