Can Tiger keep the momentum going? IDC analyst Roger Kay notes that the Mac Mini helped Apple slightly increase market share from 2% in the fourth quarter to 2.3% in the first quarter. He thinks Apple is on track to keep sales moving upward but doubts it will return to its onetime position as serious challenger to Microsoft. "I don't see the great exodus," he says. "I use Google desktop, and it works great in a Windows environment. I don't need to switch platforms for desktop search, and I know corporate customers aren't about to switch either." Charles Wolf, an analyst at securities firm Needham & Co., estimates Apple spent $200 million developing Tiger. Even if it doesn't win over many converts, the release will bring in $200 million to $300 million from the 25 million faithful Mac owners, he says. usatoday.com
