Many schools and universities -- the mainstays of Apple's customer base for years -- are phasing out their Macs in favor of personal computers based on the rival Windows operating system. The trend has accelerated over the past 12 months. Just last year, Dell snatched top-dog status from Apple in terms of revenue from education, claiming 15.1 percent of the market. Apple dropped to a 12.5 percent market share, down from its winning 14.6 percent share in 1998, according to Dataquest Gartner Group.
