Market share by 2010 from the Motley Fool AAPL board posted by: ArchiePelago

In the latest quarter, Mac unit sales increased by 35%, and PCs by 11%.

Just for fun, here's a simple extrapolation of those growth rates, starting from an assumption of 3% market share for Mac and 97% for PC.

3.00% 97.00%
3.63% 96.37%
4.37% 95.63%
5.27% 94.73%
6.34% 93.66%
7.60% 92.40%
9.10% 90.90%
10.85% 89.15%
12.90% 87.10%
15.26% 84.74%
17.97% 82.03%
21.03% 78.97%
24.47% 75.53%
28.26% 71.74%
32.40% 67.60%
36.82% 63.18%
41.48% 58.52%
46.30% 53.70%
51.18% 48.82%

That's 18 quarters till Macs overtake PCs. 4.5 years.
