Alomex> Hence to double your market share you have to more than double your CPU production, something that Apple has yet to do. Actually market share isn't about making them, it's about selling them or even giving them away. There is a difference! Don

i wish every one would weasal out of arguments by posting a link to well respected data research firms proving their point, as i did....... and here it is again... maccentral.macworld.com your research skills have been found lacking..... again.... for the fourth time in a row...... hiding your eyes from this figure is your denial alone..... you not posting other box makers numbers built during the same time only shows you also don't know what you are talking about.... as i said, apple's market share went up to 9% after the old imac was introduced, and I PROVED IT..... with an independent source..... and apple could easily do it again after this iMac has been introduced...... market share numbers are that elastic.... and why they are unimportant to what is really the needs of apple right now..... They already are plenty clear, you are just trying to weasel out of a lost argument as usual.

Alomex> Hence to double your market share you have to more than double your CPU production, something that Apple has yet to do. geesh you really need to get a clue.... in order to measure market share each month, a company like PC data counts how many boxes are sold, by model, and by manufacture.... and comparing them to other manufacutures sales for the same month.... (the only market share number that really matters for earnings for the quarter) if for example apple sells 600,000 units one month, and it is only 7% market share and then sells 600,000 units the next month and it is 9% market share, it means that other manufactures didn't sell as many as the month before for one reason or the other, but one good reason is because people are instead buying Macs more often and holding off purchasing other manufactures boxes... i suggest you get a clue ...... soon........
