"It's not outrageous to think Apple might double its market share, ... " says David C. Bailey, a PC analyst with Gerard Klauer Mattison. " On the positive side: I agree. On the negative side: this was equally true since the introduction of the (old) iMac and yet it hasn't happened.

Dave Budde > More market share data from an unbiased source: "It's not outrageous to think Apple might double its market share, ... " says David C. Bailey, a PC analyst with Gerard Klauer Mattison. " I wouldn't exactly call a brokers comment, who most likely has a major position in the stock as an un-bias source! Also the fact they were able to find a person to say they were buying a Mac and once owned a PC far from convincing. As for the doubling their market share I think that is a pipe dream, considering PC sales are relatively flat. I also doubt many PC users would switch to a MAC unless they were a novice at best with little time or monetary investment in their present system. Corporate users is the area Apple needs to penetrate and other than Graphic Design or A/V markets I see no area where they can grow. If they can't maintain their market share in the education market, I think they will be in real trouble.
