This Is Based Upon The (Unextensive) Information That I Could Find, So It May Be Inaccurate. This, However, Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story.
:::MACS:::
-[In the desktop segment,] they’re up 45 percent. The [overall] market is down 20 percent. Windows desktops would be down 25 percent.
-In notebooks they’re growing two times the market. Windows notebooks are pretty much flat right now.
-Apple holds a 66% share of the retail market for computers that sell for $1,000 or more.
-Of the sub-grand market, Apple-branded computers account for a “mere” 14%.
:::LINUX:::
There isn’t much about Linux that I can think of, except that I suspect an awful lot of servers – and home computers – get counted as Windows machines because that is how they were sold, even if they now run Linux.
:::WINDOWS:::
Nothing Current, As Their Sales Aren’t Getting Better, But Still…
| Two interesting market surveys indicate that Windows has actually gained market share in the most recent quarter, even though PC sales have almost flattened and will likely grow at an abbreviated rate through 2003. According to market researcher OneStat.com, Windows now controls 97.46 percent of the global desktop operating system market, compared to just 1.43 percent for Apple Macintosh and 0.26 percent for Linux. OneStat.com says its figures are derived from real-time global Web site analysis, and are an average of the past two months. EST Sep. 10 2002 |
