<< K-12 educational market: Apple's share in 95 was 30%, in 96 15% , in 97 12% of newly install base. Total share down to 57%. >> Cacaito, there's nothing to comment. We all know that Apple is in trouble (even those who try to say otherwise). We all know too that "niche markets", "loyal user base", and "easy of use" have not stopped the decline of this company. The discussion here now implictly acknowledges that Apple can only be saved by new and daring moves, e.g. significantly faster machines at cheaper prices or an amazing new operating system. Nothing short of that will keep them alive. On a different note, I read an interesting commentary claiming that for all we know, Apple could already be dead. That is, since people cannot switch computer systems overnight Apple is expected to have a "ramp down" sales period, in which users go through some upgrade cycles on their way out. Any arguments for or against the "Apple is already dead" scenario described above?
