It means that when Ballmer says that Apple is statistically insignificant he is lying.
What does it all mean Bazzle?
It means the pundits (on this forum and others) just might be somewhat incorrect when they claim that Apple only produces and ships products that the market doesn't want to buy.![]()
Apple's profit in 2009 will be about the same as profits from 1976 to 2005 together.
But what impact will Windows 7 have? It's getting very positive reviews. Has Microsoft finally got its act together OS-wise?
what are you talking about?
the shuffle - fail since those headphones that come with it have some mic thing in them
the nano - fail because it doesnt have a camera that can take stills
iphone - fail because of att
imac - fail because its too white
ipod touch - fail because no video
tablet - fail because of iphone sdk or whatever you call it
airport express - fail because it reminds people of flying
p.s. your closest lovers are your biggest critics...
It means that Apple has been selling about 8.8% of all computers in the US. In those 8.8%, every sale is counted equal - a Mac Pro for $3000 counts as one sale, a netbook for $300 also counts as one sale.
These numbers severely underestimate Apple's significance in the market. A much more realistic number would be the revenue in dollars. And Apple's profits are for example more than ten times those of Acer, which sells about 40 percent more computers (I'd say Apple's profits on computers and computer related sales are about 5-6 times those of Acer).
Apple's profit in 2009 will be about the same as profits from 1976 to 2005 together.
Aren't all their e-mails enough?Sounds likeshould send every one who bought a new Apple computer in the last 12 months a Christmas card.

Thats odd considering you listed products that are leading the market in sales.
And garbage sells for cheap and most people shop using price as their guide
Apple keeps on chipping away ....
In 5 years time-i predict Windows will find itself unable to adapt, by its very core architecture and fall further and further behind as technical advances come to pass'
Windows is irrelevant in the 21st century
Am I the only one who noticed that "others" growth rate is -137%. That is mathematically impossible. It should have jumped out of the page for whoever doing the double-checking if not the person preparing the table in the first place.
Sure, a simple typo, but if their quality control does not catch that, what else did they miss?
Apple could sell more if they were more reasonably priced and had better hardware and more customization.
Apple seems to hate GPUs, for example. Always 3 years behind PCs (but Apple would be glad to charge you premium price for an obsolete computer).
The day Mac market share reaches 25% worldwide, Windows will be history in three years.
Thats not mathicatically impossible.
If Dell Sells 1000 computers in 08 and 400 in 09, their growth rate is -250%
No idea. We'll see what the average user has to say. This will all become clear 3-6 months into the release. Vista got rave reviews as well. Pre-release testing is no sure indication of post-release success. And MS has a penchant for finding new and interesting ways to screw up a good thing.
