Herb "but I would like to make just one comment about it. World market share of computer sales is a poor measure of a company that does not compete in every part of that sector. It's somewhat like saying that BMW has only 3% of the transportation market when a large part of that includes freight and mass transit." That is such a weak answer, but standard fare when there is no other way to explain the failure of Apple to gain popularity. Marketshare is the only real way to gauge acceptance for a product and it is the way others determine on whether it is worth their R & D investment toward future technology that supports the Apple line or IT dollars for future users. No one wants to be left hanging with a dying or declining base. Apple possibly moving from a 2.5 to 3 percent overall market share considerng all of the hype and R & D thrown at the issue isn't promising. No one is impressed espically the street.
