WLD: Bzzzt You probaly need to spend more time paying attention to market share before you start spouting off about it. PC sales numbers out: fastest growth in 5 years, Apple dropped out of the top 5 and appears to have lost share. Apple hasn't been in the global top 5 for many years, probably not since the early 90s. Apple's 35% unit shipment growth more than doubled the industry's y/y worldwide growth last quarter, while its 10.4% sequential growth dwarfed the mere .8% growth that IDC reported for the industry as a whole over the same period. I wrote about this last week here (bolded emphasis new): For 3 of 4 years for which I have IDC data (6 years overall), worldwide PC sales declined by 1-3% from CY 1Q to CY 2Q. In the other year (1999, the height of the Internet bubble), worldwide PC sales increased by 4% between the first and second calendar quarters. In other words, worldwide PC sales are usually sequentially stagnant between the first and second quarters. Message 21503903
